THAT IS WHY THE FOREST AIR IS SO HEALTHY
Everyone knows the reviving effect of a walk in the woods, but why do you feel so refreshed afterwards?

Furthermore, a day in the forest reduces the two main stress hormones: adrenaline and cortisol. Worries and expectations are transformed into creativity and a deep focus. The preventive effect against various heart diseases, sleep disturbances and depressions make the forest walk a must in the next wellness vacation in Saalbach Hinterglemm.
