This offering is free for our guests and, in addition to providing a refreshing cool-down, also offers numerous health benefits that make your stay even more pleasant and relaxing.
An experience for all the senses
Water treading in the Schlossbach at Schloss Mittersill is not only a treat for the body but also an experience for all the senses. The idyllic surroundings of the castle grounds, the chirping of birds, and the gentle babbling of the water create a unique atmosphere that invites you to relax and savor the moment.
Water treading – a tradition with health benefits
Water treading, also known as “Kneipping,” originates from the naturopath Sebastian Kneipp. This hydrotherapy method is simple to practice and highly effective. But what health benefits does water treading in the Schlossbach offer?
Strengthening the immune system:
The alternation between warm temperatures and cold water stimulates the immune system and can help prevent colds.
Promoting circulation:
The cool water stimulates blood flow and helps relieve heavy legs.
Hardening the body:
Regular water treading can help harden the body and make it more resilient to temperature fluctuations.
Relaxation and stress relief:
The soothing babble of the brook and the fresh air contribute to mental relaxation and help reduce stress.
Supporting vein function:
The cold water acts like a natural massage for the legs and promotes healthy vein function.
How water treading works in the Schlossbach
To enjoy water treading in the Schlossbach, all you need is a towel, which you can take from your room or pick up at the reception. Find a quiet spot along the riverbank and slowly step into the water, making sure it reaches about mid-calf. Begin by alternately lifting one foot after the other, as if marching in place. It’s important to leave the water completely from time to time to achieve the desired effect. Stay in the water for about 5 to 10 minutes, then dry off and take a moment to relax. Afterwards, you can repeat the process in intervals and enjoy a refreshing sense of relaxation.

The free water treading is a wonderful way to invigorate both body and mind while enjoying the stunning nature of the castle grounds.
