Tour description

The fortification Pürglitz was built as an earthwork in 1800/01 and was part of a line of defense against the Napoleonic troops. Today, the presence of the forest predominates. Only a 10-minute walk downhill is the Capuchin Monastery Irdning, which represents a place of silence and contemplation. The monastery church is open daily, and a visit is highly recommended. Both places – the Pürglitz forest and the monastery – can be experienced as protective spaces.

**THE RESONANCE EXERCISE**
**MY SAFE SPACE – MY FREE SPACE**

**For You**

- Find your own most beautiful place through experimentation, which simultaneously promises safety and freedom.
- Push your feet firmly against the ground, consciously straighten up from here, piece by piece align the spine, loosen the knees, pull the shoulders back and down, the chin tilts toward the throat.
- Consciously inhale the strength of the earth through your feet (strength of the earth) and exhale the old (transformation through the earth) through your feet. The arms can accompany the breath with upward and downward movements.
- Perform this exercise within a group of trees along the forest path and perceive differences, e.g., between various positions in the center of the group of trees or at the edge.

**For Couples, Groups, or Families**

- Perform the breathing exercise facing each other or in a circle, thereby – as if by itself – coming into the same breathing rhythm breath by breath. Your audible inhalation and exhalation support the others.
- Experience the position exercise on the Pürglitz together instead of with trees and notice the difference, forming the circle for others or standing in the center and enjoying the attention.
- Couples can silently experience the different positions together side by side and then exchange thoughts afterwards.

**THE EFFECT FOR YOUR HEALTH**

**Focus**

- Movement
- Mental Strengthening

**Physically**

- Strengthening the spine, breathable
- The stable EARTH stance with focus on the feet and their connection to the ground strengthens the fine motor skills in the ankle area, especially in uneven terrain.
- All involved muscle groups and joint systems are particularly activated and strengthened, especially during longer periods of maintaining and readjusting the described standing position.
- The deep inhalation and exhalation with the involvement of the arms pleasantly opens the ribcage. Oxygen uptake is higher during deep breathing in the chest, sides, and abdomen; at the same time, blood pressure is lowered and stress reduced. The deeper the breathing, the more the organs reached in the environment benefit from the "massage."

**Mentally**

- Protective
- Relaxing (especially during deep exhalation)
- Strengthening the sense of self

**HEART QUESTION**·
Where do I feel safe and relaxed? How does that feel in my body? How do I perceive freedom in the forest?

**RECOMMENDED TOUR**
This nature.power.place is located along the following hikes:

- Pürglitz Circular Hiking Trail
- Winter Hike Pürglitz

**LOCAL TIP**

- The Capuchin Monastery, located in a magnificent setting, is considered a place of silence and contemplation. Since the early 1990s, days of silence, retreat days, and ten-day contemplative exercises have been offered.
- IMLAUER Hotel Castle Pichlarn
