In Masserberg, a town in southern Thuringia with a picturesque location in the Thuringian Forest, the state is funding the conversion of a thermal spa into a forest bathing center. From 2023, the building will embrace the theme of "forest" in a variety of ways – through light, sound, and materials such as wood and stone. With attractive offerings like a panoramic sauna, a forest spa, a mountain meadow flower pool, and a new restaurant, the bathing center aims to make forest bathing a truly immersive sensory experience.
Health is also the central focus of the already completed Waldkliniken Eisenberg project (East Thuringia). Here, Managing Director David-Ruben Thies has created a hospital with a novel concept. With its wide range of offerings, this facility aims to ensure the well-being of both patients and staff, particularly regarding working conditions and atmosphere. Thies calls his new type of hospital a "patient hotel"—and the name says it all! (hw)
