“Even a pause is part of music.” The Austrian writer Stefan Zweig once said this. We at the wellness hotel on the Zugspitze know how right he was. The world is racing. And we race along with it. Yet it is so important that we pause now and then. Consciously take a break. Take time for ourselves. And regroup. Autumn offers a wonderful opportunity for this. Many rainy days. On which it might not even be noticeable if we take a break. Cancellations. Or staying away. We should do something simple more often. Because “simple” is sometimes very healing. That is why we have compiled a few tips for this in this blog. Tips for the museum. A good book. Or for a wellness Day.

There are also numerous nativity scenes (nativity scenes, perhaps) to marvel at, spanning four centuries. The history of the dolls reflects the developments in fashion and educational ideals. There are also changing special exhibitions, and a varied program of guided tours, workshops, lectures, and readings. The Aschenbrenner Museum is wheelchair accessible.
