Tour description

The history of the market municipality of Stainach-Pürgg dates back to the time of the Romans, who used the Ennstal as an important trade route. The first documented mention of the village name "Gruscharn" dates back to the year 1195. The proximity to the Enns River and the fertile soils made the place an important hub for trade. With the construction of the railway line from Bischofshofen to Selzthal in the 19th century, new economic potentials were opened up. This Nature.Power.Place symbolizes the elements that shape not only nature but also the history and identity of the market municipality.

THE RESONANCE EXERCISE 4-ELEMENT STRETCH

For You

  • Near the stream above Castle Friedstein, position your feet close to a tree. The legs slightly spread apart. The hands support the body forward.
  • The arms stretch the upper body slightly backward, breathe well, and perceive each element for about 2.0 - 2.5 minutes:

- The EARTH connection through the feet.

- The AIR connection through breathing.

- The WATER connection in stretching.

- The FIRE connection through the body sensation that arises in stretching.

 

For couples, groups, or families,

  • the diverse natural surroundings invite you to try out one of the group or couple exercises from other Nature.Power.Places at selected Fürstensteig locations.
  • Perceive differences between the locations.
