Shoes Off, Senses On: Discover the Forest with Bare Feet!

When was the last time you consciously felt the ground beneath your feet? Not through a thick shoe sole, but directly, skin to nature? Here at Waldhotel Ehrental, a very special adventure lies just around the corner, one that awakens your senses and grounds you like nothing else: the Barefoot Adventure Park in Schmalkalden.

Forget your hiking boots in your hotel room for a moment. This experience is an invitation to rediscover the world like a child – curious, playful, and with all your senses.

A Celebration for Your Feet (and Your Soul)

The path leads you through more than 20 different stations that are a true blessing for your foot reflex zones. Feel the soft, cool moss, the tickle of fresh grass, the smooth surface of wood pavement, and the stimulating massage of pebbles in all shapes and sizes. Balance on tree trunks and feel the refreshing water of a small stream on your ankles.

It is amazing how intensely you perceive nature when you expose yourself to it so directly. Every step becomes a new discovery.

More Than Just a Walk

This "barefoot" experience is not only great fun for the whole family but also pure health promotion according to the proven principles of Kneipp. It strengthens the foot muscles, stimulates circulation, and is proven to reduce stress. You will notice how you become calmer and more serene with every step, and the hustle and bustle of everyday life simply falls away.

Just a short walk from the Waldhotel Ehrental, the barefoot path is the perfect little adventure for an afternoon. Why not combine the excursion with a visit to the neighboring wildlife enclosure and make it a perfect day in nature?

Dare to give your feet the freedom they deserve. You will be rewarded with a feeling of deep relaxation and connection!
