Kneipp facility

A Kneipp facility is a construction or devise in a spa or special park that is used for the Kneipp hydrotherapy, also called "Kneipp Cure" or "Kneippsim".[1] It was founded and developed by the Bavarian-German priest Sebastion Kneipp in the 19th century who was one of the forefathers of the naturopathic medicine movement.

The Kneipp facilities are mostly water oriented applications which have various methods, temperatures and pressure, for example water treading facilities and arm basins fed by springs, water pumps or the public drinking water network.[2] It also includes constructions like barefoot walking paths and variations for children.[3] It is especially common in the German speaking countries[4][5][6] and nowadays also part of spa areas in international luxury hotels.[7][8][9]
