Who finds access to nature also finds his way back to himself. Against this backdrop, the guide will draw your attention to the close connection between man, nature, the many ecosystems and climatic peculiarities, history, geology and many plant species. You will learn about the basics of natural medicine, from the green pharmacy to the 4 elements - water, air, fire and earth - and their significance. Above all, however, you will experience nature holistically, where the true factors of well-being for body, soul and mind are to be found. Passing through the reed beds of Lake Monticolo (492m), we reach the remains of a megalithic structure, a cult centre for astronomical observations from the late Bronze Age and an energy centre (Jobenbnühel 570m). From here we penetrate into little-known forests and heaths, ideal places to relax, de-stress and recharge body and soul, before reaching a 400-metre-high vertical rock face with a spectacular view of the Etsch Valley. From here we move to the highest point of the Middle Mountain (Höhenbühel 695m), where we find the remains of an unknown Iron Age settlement and place of meditation. We discover monumental trees and exotic tree species. You will also learn about the Celtic horoscope, because plants never lie.
