On the way to deceleration: Recharge your energy to 165 km in 9 days

"The Path of Slowing Down" - A variety of paths that lead to powerful places: Find peace and re-energise on the Bohemian Forest Loop Hiking Path!

Hardly anything has become rarer and more valuable in our overheated performance-oriented society than time and leisure. The hectic pace of life, the vast amount of digital communication and the need to be available everywhere and at all times are increasing the desire to leave everything behind and switch off. Over two thousand years ago, philosophers such as Socrates, Plato and Epicurus taught that people need "otium" - divine leisure - to be in harmony with themselves.

Enjoy the peace and quiet along the path of deceleration. At the numerous ancient places of power and vantage points, beautiful benches invite you to linger. Where it was not possible to set up benches, use your seat and sit down in the shade of the large old trees or on the ancient stone blocks made from the granite of the Bohemian Forest. Pause for a moment and feel the invigorating energy - you will leave the Bohemian Forest feeling well rested.

All stages have one thing in common: as soon as you leave the villages, you are surrounded by the tranquillity of nature. Hike through the varied landscape and discover something new every day. From the valleys of the Große, Kleine and Steinerne Mühl to the ridge of the Bohemian Forest, nature offers plenty of variety.
