Hiking with a difference

Guided thematic hikes

Of course, exploring neanderland on your own has its appeal. But this is not how you experience forest bathing, nature coaching or fitness hikes with a personal trainer. Because under local and expert guidance there is so much more to discover, enjoy and experience that you would otherwise miss. Decide on one of the many different guided themed tours. You will be amazed how much more fascinating you can elicit from the beautiful neanderland. It's all a question of the right look.
