The "Frauenbrunnen" Kneipp facility, which is located directly on the Gurgltal cycle path, is known for its radon-containing water. Radon is a biological, radioactive gas that is produced by the decay of uranium and can be detected everywhere, both in the earth and in the air. The high-energy alpha rays of radon are said to help with skin impurities and rheumatism in particular, as it triggers anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects in the body.
Kneippen ist eine traditionelle Heilmethode, die auf der Wechselwirkung von warmem und kaltem Wasser basiert. Diese Methode hilft, das Immunsystem zu stärken, die Durchblutung zu fördern und das Wohlbefinden zu steigern. Typische Anwendungen sind Wechselduschen, Wassertreten und Kaltgüsse.
