In line with our philosophy, we can use the 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 giveaways from them. Of course, as visitors to our therapy garden, you can use parts of the plants yourself to smell, scratch, touch and taste.
Our dietician has created a herb and medicinal plant primer for you, in which you will learn a lot of valuable knowledge about our culinary, wild and medicinal herbs, as well as about some poisonous representatives.
Our own bees, whose hives are located to the right of the therapy garden, are responsible for pollination.
