The Villa Sonnwend, built in Art Nouveau style and carefully renovated, offers the best conditions for you to devote yourself to your chosen vacation program away from everyday life thanks to its secluded location at the end of an imposing chestnut avenue. Spacious green areas and hiking trails, which start directly at the house, offer you the opportunity to get to know the natural treasures of the Kalkalpen National Park in both winter and summer.

Catering

At Villa Sonnwend, special emphasis is placed on balanced and varied cuisine. Seasonal aspects are at the forefront of the menu design and the products are mainly sourced from the region. You can indulge your palate at the breakfast and evening buffet, which always includes vegetarian dishes.

Enjoy trying out new things! Just remember the soft gaze of a child, or look at the world from a different perspective.
This ability for lifelong learning, based on the enormous plasticity of the brain, is the focus of the method named after its founder, Dr. Moshé Feldenkrais®.
Awareness of eye movements and relaxed vision strengthen our eyesight in a natural way. The field of vision expands and alertness is promoted. As our vision improves, our range of movement and coordination options expands at the same time, as does our sense of balance. The gentle movement sequences require no prior knowledge.

The plasticity of the brain has become a popular subject of brain research in recent years. Sensory-motor learning not only changes the function of the brain, but also its structure. New neuronal connections (synapses) can be established into old age through the experience of movement and one's own sensory perception (propioperception).

Contents:
- Palming the eyes
- Coming to rest with the eyes
- The interaction of eyes, jaw joints and neck
- Eye relaxation exercises, e.g. letting your gaze wander into the distance
- Differentiation of eyes and head
- Finger fusion
- Visualization exercises

The exercise sessions take place after breakfast and in the late afternoon. In between there is plenty of time for relaxation, winter walks or sport. Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are just some of the possibilities in the Kalkalpen National Park.

The program is designed for beginners as well as advanced skiers.
