Picnic on the Forest Wellness Trail in Saalbach Hinterglemm: Enjoyment Among Spruce Trees and Hammocks

Why the Forest Wellness Trail on the Reiterkogel Is So Good for You

There are places in Saalbach Hinterglemm where, after just five minutes, you can feel your body wind down. The Forest Wellness Trail on the Reiterkogel is one such place. You step into the forest, and suddenly everything grows quieter: your footsteps, your thoughts, your pace. Spruce trees, moss, ferns, and lichen give the forest an almost velvety feel. And that’s exactly why a picnic here doesn’t feel like just another item on the itinerary—it feels like a little ritual.

Here’s How to Make It Really Nice: A Picnic Basket from the Reiteralm

And then comes the part we especially love: Eventually, you’ll start to get hungry. It’s guaranteed to happen. So here’s our tip: Order a picnic basket from the Reiteralm two hours before your Waldwellness Tour and take it with you into the woods.

The basket is filled to the brim with sweet and savory treats. If you’d like, we can even include a bottle of Prosecco. Plates, cutlery, glasses, and a picnic blanket are, of course, included. That way, a “quick sit-down” turns into a truly wonderful way to end the day.
