Göhren Health Days

Health in a Kneipp Spa Town on the Baltic Sea

Göhren has been a recognized Kneipp health resort for decades and is one of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania's spa towns with the longest tradition of health-oriented tourism. The Göhren Health Days consolidate this profile in a multi-day event series that takes place every September.

The Five Kneipp Pillars as the Program

• Water – Water treading at the Kneipp basin in the spa park, dew applications, ablutions
• Exercise – Nordic walking tours on Mönchgut, yoga on the beach, Pilates, water aerobics
• Medicinal Herbs – Herb walks through the cliff coast, lectures on naturopathy
• Nutrition – Lectures, show cooking, tastings of regional products
• Life Management – Mindfulness courses, meditation, sleep health

Who Participates

Hotels and wellness providers in the town participate in the Health Days, including the Mönchgut Spa and Wellness Center, the Waldhotel, and several other establishments. During the days, they offer special treatments such as chalk body wraps, aroma back massages, and combined treatments with chalk wraps. Doctors, therapists, naturopaths, and nutritionists give lectures on site.

Mönchgut: Landscape as Therapist

The location on the Mönchgut peninsula, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, is part of the therapy: the cliff coast, beech forest, sandy beach, and the stimulating climate of the Baltic Sea provide the ideal backdrop for a program that takes place not in a hall, but in the landscape. Hikes along the Amber Promenade, guided tours into the interior of the peninsula, and beach yoga sessions are part of the regular repertoire.

Organizers and Region

The organizer is the Ostseebad Göhren Spa Administration (Poststraße 9) in cooperation with the town's health providers. The event is now a firm fixture of the off-season in the Vorpommern-Rügen district and is aimed at guests who want to consciously enrich their stay in the spa town.
