‘Forest bathing’: silence, health and well-being

Nature walks, such as those that can be enjoyed along the sections of the Tourdera, provide us with many benefits for our health and well-being. To fully enjoy them, there is nothing better than doing so in silence, as this allows us to connect deeply with the natural environment. For this reason, we have prepared this article, with the aim of raising awareness about the importance of experiencing nature in silence and perceiving it in all its splendour. We therefore invite you to try a “forest bath”, an increasingly popular practice that encourages connection with nature and contributes to both physical and mental well-being.
