Forest bathing walks

Let us watch, smell, listen and sense the nature while you experience the present moment. A forest bathing walk is a slow walk in nature, where the participant is guided to take in nature with their senses, one at a time.

Forest bathing walking is a very de-stressing and unpretentious nature experience that makes you let go of everyday challenges and feel mindful and focused. Forest bathing have nothing to do with water. We bathe our senses in the impressions we encounter in nature.

Forest bathing walking is a special form of nature experience that originated in Japan in the 1980s in connection with a major wave of mental illness. People stressed more than ever and many became ill and some even died. This led to a national awakening and a health reform. Special health parks were set up around the country, where guides led people to take in nature with all their senses based on a new method. It was called Shinrin-yoku of Forest bathing, which is a direct translation from Japanese and alludes to “bathing your senses” in all the impressions of the forest.

A traditional forest bathing walk takes about three hours, so that you have time slow down and connect to nature according to the sensory guiding method specially developed by psychologists. A lot of research has been done on this form of nature experience, and today there is evidence that forest bathing reduces both anxiety and stress, leads to a strengthened immune system and better cognitive abilities. And you often feel very relaxed and well after a forest bathing walk.
