Silent retreat: Discover the new tour in the Kluterthöhle!

The Kluterthöhle in Ennepetal has launched a new program that is tailored to the needs of those who are looking for refuge in our loud world. The "silent leadership" offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy complete silence in one of the only remaining places in the region, where they are undisturbed by everyday noise. This initiative was introduced in response to increasing noise pollution and is particularly aimed at people who are sensitive to acoustic stimuli. The first tour takes place on February 12th.

It should be emphasized that no information is given by the cave guides during the "silent leadership". The participants are invited to refuse in the unique atmosphere of the cave and to reflect in silence. Visitors can pause at special stops within the show cave to look at selected rock formations and enjoy the peace. An unforgettable highlight of this tour is the way to the "Baltic Sea", an impressive cave hall with an underground lake that is not accessible in regular tours.

Details on the quiet leadership

The "silent guided tours" take place on four appointments in February:

• Wednesday, February 12 - 5:15 p.m.

The meaning of silence for body and mind

The experiences of physiotherapists and experts in behavior like Nils Boettcher show that time in nature and in silence is not only physically healthy, but also promotes mental health. Studies show that the time -out in a quiet environment helps reduce the stress hormone cortisol, improve the mood and increase mental clarity. At a time when many people spend a lot of time in closed rooms, it is important to find a retreat in nature to achieve inner peace and balance.

Mindfulness, which is practiced in the "silent leadership", is reminiscent of the techniques of natural meditation, in which the environment is deliberately perceived. This type of perception sharpens the senses and helps to let go of negative thoughts. It is an opportunity to fully experience the advantages of nature and silence - the Kluterthöhle offers the perfect framework for this.

The offer of "silent leadership" is not just a way to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It is also an invitation to deal with the natural beauties of the region and to find a moment of inner reflection. As more and more people recognize, this could be a valuable building block to improve their mental well -being.
