First warm, then cold water strengthens the vascular and immune system. This form of cold immersion therapy returns to Bavarian priest Kneipp. During his struggle with tuberculosis, he discovered the so-called hydrotherapeutic healing power of water and later also healed the sick.

5 Kneipp's pillars for a balanced life: 

 Hydrotherapy. Improves blood circulation and increases performance. At Hotel Klášter Želiv, you can undergo a Kneipp cure in an exclusive atmosphere with the support of well-trained staff. 

Exercise. During sports activities, the cardiovascular system gets a good workout. We will lend you bikes and canoes. Or you can explore the monastery gardens and forests on foot. 

Nutrition. In the past, priest Sebastian Kneipp taught this, and today it is more relevant than ever: in our restaurant, you will find healthy, wholesome foods that help prevent illnesses. 

Phytotherapy. When conventional medicine reaches its limits, medicinal herbs can provide effective relief. In teas, ointments, or bath additives, holistic medicine unleashes its full effect. 

Balance. A conscious, balanced way of life brings body, mind, and soul into harmony. Moderation is also part of the philosophy, as well as openness and responsibility when dealing with nature.
