"Relax, explore, experience" is the motto of the feel-good trails through Austria's forests. In this joint project, Naturefriends International, Naturefriends Austria and the Austrian Federal Forests want to open up an essential dimension of nature experience for people seeking relaxation: nature as a place of well-being. After all, experiencing and consciously perceiving the beauty of nature is just as important as physical exercise.

The trails lead through the local surroundings - relaxation exercises and games for young and old along the route increase human well-being. The focus is on leisurely walking and the perception of nature. Many trails are designed to meet the needs of families with small children and people with limited mobility. The feel-good trails invite you to relax in nature. They inspire and open up new perspectives.
