Kneipp Garden

'Water cures everything, water works wonders, prevention is better than cure' – this is the unique health philosophy that the German priest Sebastian Kneipp developed and perfected in the 19th century, and that the Birštonas resort follows. Kneipp-style wellness strengthens the whole body, hardens body and soul, and boosts the immune system. Sebastian Kneipp's holistic approach to improving health is based on a system of five elements: water therapy, exercise therapy, herbal therapy, harmony therapy and healthy eating. Following Kneipp's recommendations, a Kneipp Garden has been set up here for cold-water treatments that harden the body and strengthen the immune system.
