Program description:

Forest detox experience in Kočevsko is a unique program that will allow you to restore authentic contact with nature and truly feel and experience the forest area and get to know its beneficial properties for your well-being.

This guided experience is not just an active hike, nor is it a nature trip, where you would get to know plant or animal species. It is a journey into your forest experience. Forest detox is also known worldwide as forest bathing, a forest therapy that has been proven to strengthen the immune system, improve mental health and cognitive functions, reduce stress hormone levels and thus reduce the effects of long-term stress.

Nature of Kočevsko has been gifted with exceptional beauty, which enables an even stronger experience and "detox" from the fast pace of today's everyday life. The Forest Detox Experience will help you develop mindfulness and attention, and you will have the opportunity to relax and regenerate in an area where there is no wi-fi signal, so you can connect with yourself and nature even stronger. The Forest Detox Experience is guided by an internationally certified guide who will take you through a number of guided activities and help you to safely "immerse" in the natural atmosphere of the forest.

The experience will be concluded with a forest tea party where you will share your impressions of the experience.

The experience of forest detox in Kočevsko is also unique due to the exceptional and experienced guide, dr. Petra Draškovič Pelc, who knows how to bring visitors closer to the peculiarities of the Kočevsko nature and forest ecosystem, since this exceptional natural scenery enriches, inspires and regenerates her on a daily basis. The guide is certified by the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy - the world's leading association for forest bathing and therapy.
