Kneipp treatments with crystal clear mountain water at the Reissenlehen Nature Hotel
Everything that flows has power
Water is essential for the human body – inside and out. We constantly carry the essential qualities of water – flowing, connecting, adapting, filling, penetrating – within us, as our bodies consist mainly of water. The natural movements of water, which we can observe in a stream, for example, can also be found in humans. Flowing and movement keep the body in shape. The aim of the treatments here at the Naturhotel Reissenlehen is to rediscover these flowing movements that create a natural shape, to release fixations and to achieve balance.

Kneippen mit hochwertigem Bergwasser in Berchtesgaden
Durch die Nutzung des natürlich reinen Quellwassers, werden alle Kneipp-Anwendungen im Naturhotel Reissenlehen in ihrer gesundheitsfördernden Wirkung zusätzlich unterstützt.
Ein Leben im Gleichgewicht mit der Natur, das war die Philosophie von Sebastian Kneipp. Mit seinem Wissen über die heilende Wirkung von Wasser und Heilpflanzen, entwickelte er ein ganzheitliches Gesundheitskonzept. Seine Methoden und Ansichten von damals, sind nach wie vor gefragt und haben sich weiterentwickelt. Heute nennt man das Heilen durch Wasser: Hydrotherapie.
Goals of Kneipp treatments
Kneipp harmonises and stabilises basic functions such as breathing, circulation, heat balance, metabolism, digestion, nervous and endocrine systems, and strengthens the immune system. Many functional disorders without organic damage, known as vegetative dystonia, can be regulated and positively influenced in the long term by Kneipp treatments.
‘If people would only devote half as much care to keeping themselves healthy as they unconsciously devote to becoming ill, they would be spared half of their illnesses.’ -Sebastian Kneipp
‘Just as you can benefit your body and protect it from all kinds of illnesses and ailments by hardening and strengthening your feet and your whole body, you can achieve further significant hardening by walking in water, on wet grass, on wet stones and finally also in snow.’ – Sebastian Kneipp
Indoor Kneipp facility
In our indoor Kneipp facility, you can experience the effects of Kneipp treatments for yourself.
Kneipp therapy is as simple as it is ingenious: millions of nerves absorb the stimuli brought to the skin by the water and cause the body to react positively.
The water temperature determines the effect.
The water treatments can be precisely dosed in terms of temperature and the extent of the area of the body treated: the temperature of the water is selected according to the patient’s responsiveness. For prevention, the cool range is chosen, as it can trigger stronger effects. Apart from the extent of the treated body region and the selected temperature, the intensity can be increased by alternating between cold (short duration) and warm stimuli (longer duration).
