Description

Waldenstein is a Kneipp community.

The most important Kneipp facilities with a graduation tower (salt inhalation system), a water treading basin, an arm bath in a granite trough, a barefoot path, and a swimming pond are in Waldenstein at the sports and cultural center.

There are inns in Waldenstein.

The Kneipp circular hiking trail can be started from any village in the community and is marked in both directions.

At a leisurely pace, the silence can be enjoyed and absorbed with every breath. "Thank God benches" along the path invite you to linger.

In Waldenstein stands the well-known pilgrimage church "Maria mit der Hacke". In the pilgrimage and community museum, the history of the pilgrimage church and the statue of Mary can be traced.

In Waldenstein you can play tennis (outdoor courts, indoor courts) and squash, cycle, hike, swim in natural ponds, have fun on the beach volleyball court, and bring joy to children on natural playgrounds.

Knowing each other, singing together, laughing about each other, living consciously - that is village community and everyday culture in our community.

The path offers, in addition to physical exercise, Kneipp stations where the water experience can be particularly enjoyed in hand and water treading basins.

Editor’s tip Quote from Sebastian Kneipp: "The best way to health is the path on foot. Hiking also clears the mind and is an optimal balance to the hectic everyday life. So treat yourself to a beautiful piece of nature!"
