Travelling in the forest.

Deceleration and well-being

One of the positive effects of forests on people is their impact on health. The forest is known for its calming and relaxing effect on the human mind and body. It offers a contrast to everyday life and invites you to take relaxing walks and hikes.

Very attentive visitors can spot the forest dwellers in their natural habitat. With a little patience, you might spot a chamois, deer or roe deer on your next excursion into nature.

The silence of the forest

In all seasons

the forest stands and is silent.

This forest has stood for centuries

Believe me, it is certainly that old.

 

He is old and wise and silent.

Stands firmly in the ground, much betrayed,

has hidden many a crook,

even if that sounds a bit suspicious.

 

There's no gypsy life in the forest today,

people in the forest strive for recreation,

they want to get out of the smoggy city,

because the forest offers good air and peace.

 

The city offices and factories 

are plastered with criticism.

People today dream of forests and meadows.

He is doing something for the health of nature.

 

Heart, circulation and soul have suffered.

Out into the forest for flying visits.

The tree bows politely to the visitor

rustles softly, smiles and is silent.

 

I

here are no quarrels, no feuds in the forest.

The forest is silent and looks after everyone.

Dr Wald has been called before:

«He heals the soul, is silent and relaxed.»

 

The scent of the trees is the elixir,

a blessing for humans and animals

and at any time of year

the forest has its medicine ready.

 

Walk through the forest along the stream,

sit down on the bank and look forward to

how the trout play with each other

and you will soon feel better.

 

Don't ask me: «When is soon?»

Only the forest knows.

The healing silence in the rustle of the forest

I would never swap it for the most lucrative office space.
