The Kneipp route exploits movement between two baths, where alternating hydro-massages with hot (38°) and cold (18°) water produces immediate benefit to the circulation and the nervous system, exploiting also the pleasant foot massage performed by the black river pebbles covering the bottoms of the two baths.

The heat calms and sweetens the body, slowing down the activity of the internal organs. The cold, on the other hand, stimulates and invigorates it, increasing internal activity. The alternation between hot and cold diminishes stress and stimulates the body and mind.
