Barefoot path

Helpful facts

Now is the perfect time to immerse yourself in nature and activate your immune system.

Discover our barefoot trail and experience the benefits of barefoot running up close.

Benefits of walking barefoot:

1. Strengthening the muscles: Walking barefoot activates numerous muscles in the feet and legs that are often underused when wearing shoes.
2. Improved blood circulation: Contact with different surfaces stimulates blood circulation and promotes healthy feet.
3. Better balance: Barefoot walking improves proprioceptive perception, which leads to better balance and a more stable posture.
4. Stress reduction: Contact with nature and walking on natural materials have a calming effect and help to reduce stress.
5. Strengthening the immune system: Walking barefoot outdoors can activate the immune system and increase well-being.

The barefoot path at Hotel Marica is carefully designed and offers a variety of natural materials and textures to create a holistic experience. The path includes:

• Soft grass: Ideal for getting feet gently accustomed to contact with the ground.
• Gravel and stones: Different sizes encourage foot muscles and stimulate nerve endings.
• Sand: Soft sand provides a pleasant walking sensation and helps to relieve tension.
• Wooden planks: Alternating between different surfaces strengthens the feet and provides variety.
• Water stations: Small Kneipp basins offer the opportunity to dip your feet in cool water and promote circulation.

You can also harness the healing power of Kneipp therapy! Alternating showers and immersion in cool water stimulate circulation and strengthen your immune system.

Come and treat yourself to some time out on our barefoot path. Let your mind wander and feel nature beneath your feet!
