Wellness with a view at Wellnesshotel Linde
Recharging your batteries and giving yourself a treat: the health and wellness hotels in the Bregenzerwald create the right atmosphere for holidays that help you feel good. With subtle architecture, well thought-out offers and attentive hospitality. Those wanting to give their bodies, minds and souls a treat while on holiday will certainly find what they’re looking for in the Bregenzerwald. Well-being is ensured by medically sound programmes, classic wellness offers, finely adapted menus and the appropriate ambience. Most health and wellness hotels are distinguished by their architecture and high-quality furnishings. Many bathing and sauna worlds have been newly built or modernised in the style of contemporary Vorarlberg (timber) architecture in recent years. Nice and bright, with views into natural landscapes, built with such natural materials as wood and stone. Spas and therapies The programmes that are available at the health hotels range from supervised fasting and detoxification weeks
to packings and baths with, for example, freshly cut moor. The most traditional is Gesundhotel Bad Reuthe, which also offers medical and physio-therapeutic care. Relaxation and refreshment The wellness hotels offer a wide range of activities – from fitness programmes and yoga retreats to massages and cosmetic treatments. Hotel Post by Susanne Kaufmann even treats visitors to the hotelier’s own line of high-quality natural cosmetics. Several other wellness hotels also use the Bregenzerwald’s own care products – for instance, the whey-care line by the Metzler family from Egg or the Werbina honey-care line by Bentele Genuss. Well-being days: swimming and sweating Several health and wellness hotels open their swimming and sauna areas to visitors who just want to spend the day or a few hours there. (→ page 105)
