Barfußpark / Aquadies Egestorf, Barefoot nature park in Egestorf, Germany
Barfußpark Aquadies Egestorf is a barefoot nature park spread across 14 hectares with 60 different walking stations designed for sensory experiences. The stations feature varied natural surfaces including grass, mud, wood chips, and glass pieces that create different sensations underfoot.
The park was founded on traditional German nature therapy principles, incorporating Kneipp wellness practices developed in the 19th century. Water treatments and specialized walking paths form the core of its therapeutic approach.
The on-site restaurant serves regional dishes made from local ingredients grown in the park's own herb garden and sourced from the surrounding Lüneburger Heide region. Visitors experience how the place connects food, nature, and local traditions.
The park is open seasonally from May through October with facilities spread across the grounds for different activities. Plan extra time to move slowly through the stations and wear clothes you can easily change out of if you want to try water treatments.
A 45-meter hanging rope bridge crosses through the park and tests your balance while taking you above the landscape. The site also includes a salt house for respiratory treatments and nine yoga stations integrated throughout the grounds.
