Castle Trautenfels

Tour description

The history of the market municipality of Stainach-Pürgg dates back to the time of the Romans, who used the Ennstal as an important trade route. The first documented mention with the village name "Gruscharn" dates back to the year 1195. The proximity to the Enns and the fertile soil made the place an important hub for trade. With the construction of the railway line from Bischofshofen to Selzthal in the 19th century, new economic potentials were developed. This Nature.Power.Place symbolizes the elements that shape not only nature but also the history and identity of the market municipality.

THE RESONANCE EXERCISE
4-ELEMENT STRETCHING

For You

  • Position your feet close to a tree near the stream above Castle Friedstein. Legs slightly apart.
  • Support your body forward with your hands. Stretch the upper body slightly back with your arms, breathe well, and perceive each element for about 2.0 – 2.5 minutes:

            - The EARTH connection through the feet.
            - The AIR connection through breathing.
            - The WATER connection in stretching.
            - The FIRE connection through the body feeling that arises in stretching.

For Couples, Groups, or Families

  • The diverse natural surroundings invite you to try one of the group or couple exercises from other Nature.Power.Places at selected Fürstensteig locations.
  • Perceive the differences between the locations.

THE EFFECT FOR YOUR HEALTH

  • The wrists are stretched in a balancing manner to everyday life.

Mental

  • Positively self-rewarding
