Nature.Power.Place Trautenfels Castle

Tour description

Trautenfels Castle stands as a landmark of the central Enns Valley on a rocky outcrop at the foot of the Grimming mountain. The eventful and dynamic history of Trautenfels Castle, then still called Neuhaus Castle, begins with its first documented mention in 1261. About 400 years later, Count Siegmund Friedrich von Trauttmansdorff bought the castle, had it remodeled and refurbished, and renamed it Trautenfels. Historically and energetically, Trautenfels Castle is a dynamic place.

THE RESONANCE EXERCISE
ENERGY SQUARE GRIMMING VIEW

For you

  1. Three spots along the imposing castle walls are equipped with triangular seats. These are now your resonance field for mental strengthening. For a quiet moment, with a view of the landscape, try:
  2. In front of the tip of the bench, i.e., the power of the triangle behind you has a strengthening effect. 2.) BEHIND the point, i.e., you give your energy to a situation or a person
  3. Find your own, preferred place at that moment.
For couples, groups, or families

Groups or families can increase the effect of the exercise by having everyone group around the active person. It's about perception, changing places, exchanging ideas if necessary, and then changing the active person.
Couples can perform the exercise together and directly exchange ideas: "New" perspectives and postures of the partner are possible.
