Name: Kneippwanderweg 1 (Minimap), St. Jakob im Walde
Brand: Steiermark
Rating: 1 (1 reviews)

On this hike you can expect different stations of the Kneipp teachings. The Kneipp path includes 3 different routes where you can experience, enjoy and learn a lot. For example, you pass by the arm water pool in the Europapark. A visit to the herb farmer is also worthwhile. At the "Jakobi-Bründl" you come to a mystical place where you can forget everyday life. For children, there is a barefoot play area next to the foot-water pool. (Water treading pool)

The Kneipp Association St. Jakob im Walde was founded in 1998 and thus also the Kneipp path was ceremoniously opened. In the course of time, there have always been renewals so that the five pillars of the Kneipp teachings are attractively expressed along the Kneipp path. At the beginning of the Kneipp path near the elementary school, the five pillars are represented. The hike takes you across the Europapark, past the Lueger Inn to the vicinity of the Arzberger homestead, where there is a chestnut tree and a wayside shrine, and right next to it you will find a plaque with a short biography of Father Kneipp. The next station is again dedicated to the order of life: an unusual wooden cross invites you to linger and pause.

If you are interested, you can also visit the herb garden in the herb kingdom and the relic of Emperor Charles in the parish church in the course of the hike along the Kneipp path.
