Familly­ Holidays

Adventure and Relaxation
for the Whole Family

The WALDGUT combines precious family time with unforgettable experiences for both young and old.

While children explore the playgrounds or enjoy exciting adventures in the surrounding area, parents can take time to relax and enjoy peaceful moments of their own.

Nature playgrounds, our spacious WALDGUT garden and family friendly hiking trails offer plenty of opportunities to explore and discover. On rainy days, our younger guests can play, create and let their imagination run free in the indoor playroom.

Exciting excursions to the Festung Königstein or the Felsenlabyrinth Langenhennersdorf complete the experience.

Look forward to a varied family holiday full of adventure, relaxation and unforgettable moments surrounded by nature.

Playgrounds

Space for little adventurers

There is plenty of room to play, explore and run around all across the WALDGUT grounds. Two playgrounds surrounded by nature, a sports field with football goals and a basketball hoop, as well as our table tennis area ensure there is never a dull moment between hikes and excursions.

While children climb, swing and run across the meadows, parents can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of nature and the simple joy of being outdoors. Instead of crowded hotel facilities, families are welcomed by forests, fresh air and plenty of open space to spend quality time together.

What makes it even more special: all of our play areas are located directly on the resort grounds and beautifully integrated into the natural surroundings. This creates the kind of effortless holiday moments families often remember for years to come.

Playroom

Enjoy family time indoors

Beyond meadows, playgrounds and forest trails, families at WALDGUT also find space to relax and spend quality time together indoors. In our lovingly designed playroom, younger guests can play, paint, slide and climb while rain taps softly against the windows outside or the day slowly winds down after new adventures.

The cozy atmosphere makes the playroom a place where children feel comfortable and parents can simply take a deep breath and relax. Even on quieter days, these moments become special memories that stay with the whole family.

BodyProfiling (BQ Concept)

Every day, the way we live leaves traces that are stored in our bodies. The body is considered a mirror of the soul, as mental states, stress, and emotions are directly expressed through physical reactions (posture, pain, illness).

Physical pain is an effect that is always preceded by a cause. Treating the effect with medication alone is therefore of limited value.

With BodyProfiling, you get to the root of the problem and resolve it at its core.

Exercising doesn’t automatically mean being healthy. Strength, balance, endurance, mobility, and relaxation—when in the right proportion—form the foundation of healthy training.

Every person, whether fit or in pain, has their own Body Quotient—the measure that defines body intelligence, reveals life patterns, and forms the basis for effective training. This is where the holistic BQ bodywork concept begins.

Learn to understand your body’s messages through a wide range of practical applications.

This event will permanently transform the way you feel your body and approach training.

Tickets are limited. For more information and bookings, contact: mike.gerbig@waldgut-naturresort.de

A Journey to Yourself

The more you achieve, the further you go, the higher you climb, and the older you get, the more questions begin to enter your life:

What is all this for? Is this really what I truly want? This job? This partner? This life?

Where is the lightness, the playfulness, the laughter, the sense of adventure in my life? Have I buried it forever out of a sense of responsibility toward everyone and everything else?

From my own experience, I can tell you: no, you haven’t. You just need the courage to finally wake up again.

Courage here means overcoming the fear of rejection, of failure, of what others might think about you.

In this LOLA 3-day event at the powerful WALDGUT location, you will be introduced to spiritual laws. You will engage in deep self-reflection, release burdens, make decisions, and recognize your life’s purpose.

You will finally attract what you truly long for.

Through this transformational journey in this magical place, the way you live, think, and feel will completely change. You will be at peace with yourself and grounded in self-confidence.

Tickets are limited to 7. For confidential inquiries, more information, and bookings, contact: mike.gerbig@waldgut-naturresort.de
