The Kneipp path is a thermal practice that takes advantage of the extraordinary benefits of hydrotherapy, i.e. the healthy effects of water on our body.
This practice takes its name from the German abbot Sebastian Kneipp who, over two hundred years ago, carried out experiments on himself consisting in immersing himself first in the cold waters of the Danube for a few moments and then in hot water, thus ascertaining the considerable benefits on blood circulation deriving from alternating and repeated dives.
At the Camplongo Refuge the new Kneipp path winds outside, at the back of the SPA house, overlooking the pastures and dense woods.
The route is accomplished by walking in pools of water on the bottom of which river stones have been laid divided by size and type. The alternating passage in the tanks, first hot and then cold, and on other natural substrates such as grass and tree bark, allows a foot massage that helps the oxygenation of the legs.
Immersion in hot water gives a pleasant feeling of relaxation, while contact with cold water tones and invigorates.
The walk on the cobbled bottom and the thermal shock play a toning effect on the walls of the capillaries; moreover, the natural water massage has draining properties and therefore beneficial in case of water retention.
