Our tips for your conscious and enjoyable vacation in the Hohe Tauern National Park

 

OUT WITH YOU

Exercise in nature is healthy and makes you happy. Simple walking gets your body going and your mind at rest. It is important not to plan a full day. Set a maximum daily goal and leave enough time for rest periods. It's best to switch your cell phone to flight mode and limit yourself to a few photos. Close your eyes and store the beautiful moments in your mind...

 

LISTEN

How quiet it is! Far away from street noise and crowds, we realize how rarely we really have peace and quiet. Natural sounds, such as the rushing of the stream, the wind in the trees or birdsong are soothing and calming...

 

FEEL YOURSELF

How does the rough tree bark feel? Are the stones smooth or sharp? The sun tickles the tip of my nose! By consciously perceiving our surroundings, by feeling and touching, we can sense ourselves better and feel inside ourselves...

 

EYES OPEN

Let your eyes wander. Can you recognize the peaks opposite? How many shades of green can you see? Is that an eagle up there? Looking into the distance makes you humble and many an everyday problem suddenly becomes very small...

 

BREATHE DEEPLY

Fill your lungs with deep breaths. Inhale deeply into your stomach through your nose, count to three and exhale twice as long through your mouth. Do you notice how good the East Tyrolean mountain air is for you? Breathing out for a long time is also a great way to breathe away stress, worries or pain...

 

GET OUT OF YOUR SHOES

Walk barefoot at least once a day! Over forest soil, stones or in the snow. Put your feet in cold mountain water. Stretch your toes! This invigorates and awakens tired cells...

 

BE CURIOUS

Choose your meals as varied as possible and take enough time for them. Taste your way through the regional specialties and discover new flavors. How good it smells! Like fresh bread and mountain herbs...

 

LET IT WORK

Out into the night! Get some fresh air before going to bed. Wow, that starry sky! Review the positive experiences every evening. That was particularly nice today...
