“I want all mankind to share my knowledge.”  Sebastian Kneipp (1821-1897)

In the 1800’s. Sebastian Kneipp developed a holistic approach to health and wellness, that was later named for him, maintaining that the health of a person can be strengthened by means of a therapy based on five principles: hydrotherapy, herbal therapy, healthy nutrition, exercise and discipline.

Kneipp’s teachings, which are continuously developed and updated, support strengthening the body by alternating hot and cold water immersion. The pool at Wilderness Gate is filled with ultra-pure, non-chlorinated water to support this philosophy and encourage our guests to take these experiences beyond the span of a vacation into every aspect of their lives.
