sequence

Experience pure winter fun during this week. Arrive at the idyllic Kleebauer Hof in the Upper Austrian Mühlviertel and leave stress and tension behind you.

Treat your body to some gentle exercise with two cross-country skiing sessions (one session for a 4-night stay) and a meditative snowshoe tour through the Bohemian forest.

Glide through the gently undulating Mühlviertel landscape with steady movements on the approx. 6 km long guided cross-country skiing tours in classic style.

On the snowshoe hike together, you make your tracks from Schöneben towards Hochficht through the snow-covered winter forest - with every step you take, you feel more and more relaxed.

In the two daily yoga sessions you will find balance and stretching for the body and centering for the mind. On Friday evening, a guided meditation will bring the day to a gentle and peaceful close.

On Saturday, the group will head out into the forest around the Kleebauer Hof Retreat Center - while forest bathing, you will feel the healing effect that trees can have on us.

So that after a few days of winter fun and mindful movement, you can return to your everyday life on Sunday revitalized, strengthened and grounded.
