Forest Bathing for Families: Peaceful Nature Moments at Rungenberghalde
On June 27, 2026, the city of Gelsenkirchen invites parents with children ages 4 to 7 to a special family experience: Forest bathing here means consciously relaxing in nature, with open senses and plenty of room for children's laughter, wonder, and shared time.
A Nature Educational Experience for Little Explorers
Amidst the sounds of the wind, birdsong, and the scent of the forest, a calm learning experience is created that is suitable for children and age-appropriate. Children experience nature not as a performance but as a gentle learning space with plenty of movement, perception, and closeness to their surroundings.
Gentle Break with Educational Value
Forest bathing strengthens mindfulness, concentration, and body awareness. For families, a relaxed togetherness emerges, where safety, calmness, and experiencing nature are at the forefront. The offering is particularly suitable for parents looking for a conscious break from everyday life and who want to introduce their children to nature in a loving way.
