Experience climatic healing hikes in the Harz Mountains
You start your climate hike through the Upper Harz nature at a moderate pace, which you increase a little after a while. During the hike, you check your heart rate by measuring your pulse. Under the guidance of the hiking guide, you will perform light exercises in the terrain, in particular to train your balance. You can also stimulate your thermoregulation by stepping on dew, snow or water or by wearing suitable clothing. Regular climate walks can increase your stamina and strengthen your immune system in the long term. Your body can gradually become more resistant and less susceptible to illness. However, not only your body, but also your soul can benefit from such healing climate hikes in the great outdoors in the Harz Mountains. Use these hikes to consciously relax and slow down.
