KNEIPPING BY ANY OTHER NAME…


During your stay in Bad Wörishofen, you’ll have an opportunity to learn about Kneipping and experience how relaxing water can be!


Many European spas are prized for their water treatments that promote well-being and relaxation. Among them is “Kneipping,” also known as the Kneipp Water Cure or hydrotherapy, a system of natural healing developed by Sebastian Kneipp, a 19th-century priest. His approach was based on five tenets: water therapy, gentle exercise, a healthy diet, herb-based medicines and a healthy mind. Kneipping today might include the use of saltwater and freshwater swimming pools, whirlpools, waterfalls, saunas, sunbaths and even walking barefoot through water across stones!


8. BOLZANO, THE ICEMAN & DAVOS South Tyrol is your next destination as you head to Bolzano, a small well-preserved city of mountain landscapes, medieval architecture and a fusion of Italian and Austrian cultural influences. The city’s most famous resident is Oetzi the Iceman, on exhibit at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology, where you’ll learn about his discovery by hikers in 1991 and see his remarkably preserved clothing and tools. After time to check out the town, depart for Davos where the evening is meant for relaxing – with fondue, wine and entertainment. Meals BD


9. ALPINE CHEESES & MONSTEIN BREWS Like the Swiss farmers who bring their cows from the valleys up to Alpine pastures each summer, you’ll find yourself in the mountains surrounding Davos this morning on the Clavadeler
