Content
Various studies confirm positive effects of the cold on physical regeneration through targeted stimulation on the blood circulation. The release of adrenaline and dopamine as well as the stimulation of blood circulation in the brain can further contribute to mental well-being. 

This event offers the opportunity to try out ice bathing and familiarize yourself with the physical and mental benefits of cold water exposure in a protected environment. The preliminary breathing exercises will prepare you to enter the water even at lower temperatures. Embark on your personal adventure and sign up now. 

Prerequisite  
No previous experience is necessary. However, a good physical condition is essential. Participants are required to complete a health questionnaire before the ice bath. 
By registering, I confirm that I have no medical conditions (such as cardiovascular disease, circulatory disorders, pregnancy, severe migraines) that would prevent me from ice bathing, or that I have clarified this with a specialist.

Swimsuit, towel, warm clothing suitable for the weather, warm headgear
