Härzlisee in Brunni EngelbergPhoto: Obwalden Tourismus
The barefoot path around the idyllic Härzlisee, located at 1860 m above sea level, is a unique experience in the mountains. On the 220 m long route, nature experience and the promotion of general well-being are in focus. It is not only great fun to walk barefoot over the varying surfaces (sand, wood chips, pebbles, clay, water, etc.), to feel and experience them, but this special type of foot massage also stimulates blood circulation in the feet and thus has a positive effect on the entire organism; the cardiovascular system is improved, the immune system is activated, and vitality is strengthened according to Kneipp principles. The barefoot path is equally suitable for young and old.
In the "Kitzeltopf," the feet enjoy a pleasant massage in warm water. Wellness for the arms is offered by the "Chrüselitrog," where the arms are alternately dipped in warm and cold water.
