Why is the Schwägalp considered a place of power?
The Schwägalp, nestled in the majestic nature at the foot of the Säntis, is considered a special place of power. The region is known for its powerful, calming atmosphere, which results from the combination of impressive mountain scenery, clear air and pristine nature.
- The energy of the mountains: The Säntis, the highest mountain in eastern Switzerland, radiates a strong geological energy. Many people feel a special sense of grounding and inner peace here.
