Kräuterlei & WaldAuszeit am Wörthersee

The scent of fresh wild garlic. The cracking of branches under the soles. A notebook that slowly fills up with thoughts. Right on the herb meadow or on Austria's 1st Forest Therapy Trail.

I am Anita Arneitz, herbal educator, book author and Forest Therapy Guide at Lake Wörthersee. My love for herbs began as a child in my grandma's cottage garden. Back then I felt how good it was to stick my hands in the ground and just be there. With the herb egg, I would like to invite you to slow down. Take a closer look. To rediscover nature on your doorstep and a piece of yourself at the same time.

My location

My favorite class room has treetops as a ceiling. The Forest Therapy Trail on Lake Wörthersee leads to places that invite you to relax. Ideal for teams that not only want to experience something special, but also have occupational health promotion or resilience and mindfulness in mind. All year round, whatever the weather! I accompany groups of 6 to 80 people. I have a small workshop room with a farm shop indoors in our old stable.

Classes and events

You have time in my classes. Time to smell, taste, listen and try things out.

• Forest Therapy: We go slowly, let our heads quieter and let the forest take effect on us.
• Herb hikes and workshops: You'll get to know the plants along the way and find out what they can do for you. When cooking. When distilling. When making natural cosmetics. When painting or designing creatively.
• Smoking workshops: resin, sage and mugwort transform a room with their scent. We make incense sticks together and discover the old custom - even without mumbo jumbo and smoke.
• Writing in nature: A leaf, a bird call, a ray of light becomes the beginning of your own story. I love nature journaling or creative writing. Regardless of whether it's your own story or something fictional. For me, writing is a tool for relaxation and deceleration.

You don't need any previous knowledge. Curiosity and comfortable shoes are enough. Our journey together often ends with a cup of tea made from what we found along the way.

Team events and private events

When a team goes quiet together, something special happens. Cell phones stay in your pocket. Conversations become calmer and more honest. Colleagues experience each other from a new perspective. I organise breaks for companies, associations and groups of friends, as well as for birthdays or special occasions. Together, we'll think about what's right for you: Forest Therapy, a herbal hike with tasting, or a round of writing under trees. A combination is also possible. From a half-day trip to a multi-day program with regional partners — from nearby hotels to catering. I have a large and sustainable local network. As a trainer, I have worked in adult education for over 25 years and have already researched and taught at various universities.

Perhaps you'd like to tell me what you want. I am looking forward to your request.
