With Christian Schwarze from Germany. As a barefoot professional, Christian gives lectures on barefoot health, especially for the neuronal potential development of children. Barefoot networks our whole body sense and is connected to the immune and energy system of our body. 

Barefoot is about feeling and processing nature information. Christian explains what the chocolate bar in the soles of the feet is all about and why going barefoot is like a high-speed Internet connection to our working memory. 

Christian has climbed barefoot over the anniversary ridge from the Zugspitze to the Alpspitze, as well as being able to feel the Ortler barefoot over the back ridge, and this winter he was barefoot on top of the Stoanernde Mandeln and on the Lodner. His tours are all about feeling the unique mountain nature and sometimes he makes himself comfortable in wool or neoprene socks. Instead of records or performance thinking, the focus is on enjoyment and a close connection with nature.

Health & personal responsibility

We support the call for "safe into the new start" Please read the information here: https://neustart.provinz.bz.it/sicher-in-den-neustart.asp

In addition to the official demand for personal responsibility, we would like to make the call for personal responsibility more precise: The cleaner everyone keeps the air, the more likely they are to have a healthy time together. Depending on the level of air pollution, viruses can develop a particularly dangerous combination, since pathogens can mix with toxic fine dusts and can more easily switch off the human immune system. Therefore, please keep the air clean from toxic compounds (car exhaust, cigarette smoke, spraying deodorants in closed rooms). Air is the number one foodstuff.
