Kneipp course in Algund

“Healthy in Algund” – this is the name of the initiative by the Municipality of Algund, the Tourist Association, Algund Aktiv, and the South Tyrolean Kneipp Association. It brings Sebastian Kneipp’s teachings directly into nature, making them tangible for both guests and locals.

A holiday in Algund is the perfect opportunity to discover South Tyrol’s Kneipp facilities. Spread throughout the municipality, several stations invite you to refresh body and mind. Each one makes simple use of the natural landscape and reflects the uniqueness of Algund’s seven districts.

After a hike, a bike ride, or a leisurely walk: Kneipp in Algund lets you experience the healing power of water firsthand. Walk barefoot through cool water, take a deep breath, and consciously feel nature. A small ritual with a big impact.

Tip: The Kneipp stations are free to use and perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a healthy break during their summer or autumn holiday in the Merano area.

Sebastian Kneipp, hydrotherapist and naturopath, made traditional healing methods accessible to everyone. As a young theology student, he contracted tuberculosis and discovered his own healing method through personal experiments with water therapy.

In Bad Wörishofen, he founded a spa facility, treated patients, and shared his teachings on water, movement, nutrition, medicinal plants, and life order. Today, Kneipp’s principles are known worldwide. In 2015, his natural healing method was recognized in Germany as intangible UNESCO cultural heritage.

In Algund, you can experience the effects of this traditional health philosophy firsthand along our Kneipp trails: healthy, active, and fully immersed in nature.
