The 5 Elements of Wellness

Maintaining body, spirit and soul in harmony: this was the philosophy pursued in the 19th century by famous priest and health expert Sebastian Kneipp (1821-1897). We have adopted the holistic concept of health and wellness, giving it a modern reinterpretation in the principle of “The 5 Elements of Wellness.” Our objective regards prevention, physical exercise, and the reinforcement of life force and energy. Health and wellness play the principal role. “The 5 Elements of Wellness” are: water, movement, nutrition, medicinal herbs, and Life-Balance. The services offered are completed and complemented by treatments based on natural Mühlviertel products (muds, malt, salt, high mountain herbs, hay.

Water

There is much more to water in our hotel than just swimming and jets of cold water. Discover the extraordinary Acquapura Spa aquatic area, where you can sample the beneficial effects of a Turkish bath, and the refreshing sensations achieved by swimming in the cold water channel. Our baths with revitalizing or relaxing salts have a curative action, and they offer a unique experience for the skin and all the senses.

Movement

Excursions, Nordic walking, mountain bike, yoga and Pilates (outdoors in good weather), Chi Gong, Tai Chi, gymnastics for the spinal column and water gymnastics: this is just a glimpse of our highly extensive programme of sports and activities, different every day. It is unlikely that guests will slip into sloth… And for the most indefatigable customers, there is a large, 4-hectare park surrounding the hotel, where everyone can practice the exercise that they prefer.

Nutrition

Natural and tasty foods are an important ingredient in human wellness. Therefore, as part of our extensive and generous breakfast buffet, you will find healthy and natural products (along with more robust and less strictly biological foods...). At midday, at the Spa Bistrot, you can dine on snacks based on wholemeal and natural products, and in the evening there is a Nature Menu. All you have to bring with you is the desire to enjoy the good things of life, some time, and the willingness to relax in a restful and peaceful atmosphere.

Herbs

There is a plant in nature for every type of human ailment, according to traditional wisdom. Basil is good for digestion, rosemary is effective in digesting rich foods, and mint calms the nerves. To find out more about herbs and their healing properties, you can visit our large herb garden. Or you can enjoy a fantastic bath with fragrant herbs: wildflower meadow, pine needles, malt, lavender, St. John’s wort and many others. You just have to choose your favourite herb.
