The Hochtaunus healing climate park is the first healing climate park in Germany. It is located in the Taunus of Hochtaunus and Vordertaunus , in the area of ​​the Großer Feldberg between the municipalities of Oberursel , Königstein and Schmitten .

Basic idea

It is an old knowledge that the local climate in some places is suitable for the relief and healing of ailments (see bio- climate ). A number of places can therefore advertise themselves with the predicate climatic health resort . The state-recognized seal of approval is only given to those who can scientifically prove the therapeutic effectiveness of the climate and permanently high air quality. The climate values ​​are checked regularly.

Heilklimapark Hochtaunus

The Medical Meteorology Department of the German Weather Service created the basis for the Hochtaunus Heilklimapark in 2003 by collecting the climate values ​​of the future park.

Information boards and overview plans containing all the important information have been attached to the 12 entry portals.

18 paths lead through light and dense forests, with height differences of 315 to 881.5 meters. All routes are measured and physiologically calculated. Guests can also take advantage of the care of a climate therapist.

The project is so far unique in Germany on this scale. The opening was in 2005 .

Climate in the Heilklimapark Hochtaunus

The climate is described as a low- irritation low mountain range . High altitude stimuli and radiation factors are significantly weaker in the low mountain climate compared to the high mountain climate. The protective factors of the forest climate (low temperature differences, wind protection, etc.) are of particular therapeutic importance. Days with heat stress are rare. Because of the low stimulus intensity, the low mountain range is also suitable for people with reduced resilience.
