Kneipp cures are among the best-known water treatments and are a central component of many spas and health resorts. In the middle of the 19th century, the Kneipp cure according to Sebastian Kneipp (1821-1897) became socially acceptable in many spas. Kneipp discovered that walking in ice-cold water activates the body's self-healing powers, thereby strengthening health and the immune system. The state-recognised Kneipp spas and health resorts offer numerous therapies and treatments such as cold and hot showers, contrast baths, ablutions, dew walking and treading water. These resorts also place great emphasis on mental balance, nature, exercise and a healthy diet. In den Kneipp-Heilbädern stehen der Einklang von Körper und Geist sowie die ganzheitliche Stärkung der Gesundheit im Vordergrund.
