Treading water – a tradition with added health benefits

The gentle play of water on the skin, the revitalising tingling sensation with every step – treading water, also known as “Kneipp”, is much more than just a method. It goes back to the naturopath Sebastian Kneipp and combines the power of water with the rhythm of your own body in a simple way. A soothing time-out that revitalises, refreshes and re-energises.

How treading water in the castle stream works

To enjoy treading water in the castle stream, all you need is a towel, which you can either take from your room or from reception. Find a quiet spot on the bank of the stream and slowly step into the water. Make sure that the water reaches around the middle of your calves. Now start alternately putting one foot in front of the other, as if you were walking on the spot. It is important that you always leave the water completely in order to achieve the desired effect. Stay in the water for around 5 to 10 minutes before drying off and then allowing yourself a little rest. Afterwards, repeat at intervals and enjoy the refreshing relaxation.
