Castle Trautenfels
Tour description
As an inselberg, the great Kulm with its summit height of 918 m is, alongside the Grimming, another "stabilization point" in the midst of the flat water landscape of the Ennstal. On the northern slope of the Kulm, the northernmost Hallstatt-period burial mounds of Styria have been discovered. The path layout is designed so that you can approach the summit in large, relaxed loops.
The higher the round path leads, the more breathtaking the views of Putterersee down to the Enns become. This is complemented by the expansive summit area with a 360° panoramic view all around!
THE RESONANCE EXERCISE
I-THE-PEAK
For you
- Stand firmly at a good vantage point and perform a consciously even water wheel breathing connecting Putterersee and the Kulm: long IN- and OUT-breaths that flow into each other without pauses. While doing this, mentally "breathe the power of the water up the mountain, breathe the power of the mountain down to the lake".
- Gradually stretch your body upwards, pull your arms up, and enjoy the balancing stretch along your entire body axis upwards.
- To enhance, rise onto your toes with the idea of forming a powerful connection between heaven and earth.
For groups or families
- In a circle, everyone stands once in the middle and enjoys an energy shower from all the others. Look at each other and communicate what feels good and what intensity and duration you wish from the others. The circle can: a) Tap your body. b) Brush off your back – to feel the variety, you can slowly turn around. c) Fan fresh "summit air" towards you.
- The exercises a) and b) have a relaxing effect from top to bottom, stimulating in the opposite direction.
