They shape our perception of the world in which we live; indeed, they shape our entire way of thinking and feeling. Without them, there would be no life. The division of the world into the four elements earth, fire, water and air is an ancient principle. All creatures, including human beings, are composed of four elements. Even the Greek philosophers gave much thought to the various elements and debated, above all, as to which element was the source of the others. This hike offers us a unique insight into the four elements from the viewpoint of a nature expert. The animals and the plants make use of the four elements for themselves and as their natural habitat. Join us and discover some fascinating aspects of ecology, learn about the amazing adaptations made by living organisms and explore the richness of nature that exists right here on our doorstep.

MEDITATIVE HIKE with Wolfgang NEUNER-PFEIFFER There are some experiences in life that find a place deep in our hearts. What are those enriching experiences and where and how did we feel them? TIME is always a significant factor. With our guided meditative hikes, we want to lead you to experiences that go deeper and last longer, to moments in time that we collectively feel with all our senses and internalise. 16 Walking together, with conscious, attentive minds, we attune ourselves with the cycles of nature and allow ourselves to experience their healing effects.
