In the Valaisian village of Grächen, on the sunny high plateau of the Matter Valley, Switzerland's first large Kneipp Garden is to be found. Spread over 2500 sq. meters, it is cradled in a natural landscape at the edge of a forest above Lake Grächen. And within this garden there are three wading pools (one of them for children), an arm-bath, a shower station, four large and small dry basins with pebbles, an herb garden and benches for resting.
Pastor Sebastian Kneipp was a visionary: Today Kneipping is very popular. Many Swiss resorts are now home to Kneipp facilities. Kneipp's teachings are based on five pillars: «Hydrotherapy», «Nutrition», «Physical Exercises», «Medicinal Herbs» and «A Harmonious Way of Life».
Central to it all is the experience that the mind can heal the body by sheer dint of willpower and that it can elevate it to a higher level. Taking the Kneipp cure is natural, inexpensive, risk-free and without side effects for people of all ages. Good health, wellbeing, efficiency and mental balance are the rewards.
Dare to step into the water! Grächen bids you welcome as a new «Kneipper».
