A HIKE TO THE RIVA/REIN
BACH WATERFALLS
Waterfalls are typically surrounded by a gentle
mist of tiny water drops which cleanse the
tissue of the respiratory system and lungs, providing
great relief. Studies conducted by the
Paracelsus Medical University in Salzburg
have found the Riva/Reinbach waterfalls near
Campo Tures/Sand in Taufers to be an ideal
place to enjoy the soothing effect of an ion
drizzle. Ions are particles with a negative electrical
charge which are created when water
hits a surface. After spending only one hour
near the waterfall, test persons have shown
a 30% increase in the cleansing rate of the
upper respiratory tract, while their perceived
breathing quality went up by 24% and subjective
stress levels decreased by over 50%.
Three spectacular waterfalls, rustling silence,
wooden sculptures on the “Canticle of the Sun”
by Saint Francis, the St. Francis and St Claire
Chapel, and the magnificence of nature along
the meditation trail make this walk something to
be remembered. An unforgettable experience,
lasting impressions.
