In line with our philosophy, we can use herbs and medicinal plants to expand our range of therapies with the power of nature based on scientific findings.
In addition to the culinary use in the Nuhr Cuisine, we also prepare various homemade giveawaysfrom them.
As a visitor to our therapy garden, you can of course use plant parts yourself to smell, rub, touch and taste.
Our dietician has compiled a herbal and medicinal plant primer for you, in which you will find lots of valuable information about our culinary, wild and medicinal herbs as well as some poisonous representatives.
Our own bees, whose hives are located to the right of the therapy garden, are responsible for pollination.
