Wellness & Spa

Cucumbers on the eyes, sauna sessions and contrast showers? That's the image many of us have when we think of wellness. But the wellness world has changed in recent years and now offers an extensive creative potpourri for those looking for relaxation and tranquility. In this category you can expect articles about wellness hotels, spa and wellness trips that will be remembered for a long time. The topic of wellness & spa accompanies us beyond a journey.

A wellness & spa holiday can gently ground us again and at the same time inspire us to introduce our own wellness routine.
