I love a good Kneipp walk!
This Kneipp walk uses river water along a wooded section of trail in Ortisei, Italy.
The premise is that by alternating first hot water (or in this case heat from hiking all day) and cold water, you gain all kinds of benefits, including:
increased circulation and metabolism and decreased inflammation.
Proponents say the thermal shock stimulates blood flow and metabolic systems while strengthening the immune system.
A lot of spas in the Alps offer this type of hydrotherapy (as does Yellowstone Hot Springs near our home in Montana!) and we’ve found them around trailheads at gondola and cable car stations.
You have to use them regularly to see benefits, but I like to dip in when I find one just because it feels good on trail-weary feet. Or at least it’s numbing :).
