Intro
Forest bathing is a gentle, guided, half-day relaxation program in nature. It is organized in the parks of Basel (mostly in the Merian Gardens) and in the forests around Basel. By experiencing nature, it promotes health and is a simple relaxation technique.
Forest bathing is a research-based approach to wellness inspired by the Japanese "shinrin-yoku", which literally means forest bathing. The practice offers the opportunity to promote physical and mental health and balance the stress of hectic everyday life through intensive immersion in nature. Forest bathing is a gentle, guided sensory experience with thought- and body-oriented exercises that help to reconnect with nature in silence. A simple technique for relaxation, self-care and healthy living.
Visitors have the opportunity to get to know Basel from a different perspective. They can explore the naturalness of the city and the region with a deeper meaning that can lead to a big change in their perception of the region's charm, their own life experience and their travel style. These programs help explore parks and natural habitats in and around the city that might not otherwise be on a visitor's must-see list.
