It's 11.47pm on a Tuesday evening.
Your smartphone vibrates again. A message, an update, an email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You put the device aside - but your mind stays awake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thoughts continue to circle. Deadlines, decisions, open tasks. Even when it becomes quiet around you, it is often far from quiet inside you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many people know this feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People who have a lot of responsibility in particular feel that something is missing at some point: real peace<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not wellness. A place where the nervous system is allowed to shut down again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is precisely why more and more people today are consciously looking for a Retreat in nature<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not from esotericism. Our world is constantly on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n News, meetings, emails, social media, push notifications - our brains today process many times more information than previous generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people realise at some point:<\/p>\n\n\n\n They still work - The nervous system remains in the Continuous voltage mode<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The part of our body that is actually responsible for relaxation - the so-called parasympathetic nervous system - hardly gets any space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people know the consequences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The body is efficient - but it no longer reaches a state of deep relaxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Silence is not just the absence of noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It has an active effect on our nervous system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Something decisive happens in a quiet environment: Heart rate drops. At the same time, processes begin in the brain that are often neglected in everyday life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people experience something surprising in real silence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The head becomes clearer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Decisions are easier. Many holidays are planned through today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yoga at 7 o'clock. What is well-intentioned often prevents exactly what we actually need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Self-determined time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our nervous system recovers best when we are learning again:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Genuine regeneration often occurs when nothing happens<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A retreat without animation is not a lack of service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because suddenly you decide again:<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you get up. Many guests report that they only realise how exhausted they actually were after two or three days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The body catches up on sleep. And at some point, something rare happens:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Silence feels natural again.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Silence has a particularly strong effect in a natural environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The reason lies deep in our evolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Natural sounds - wind, birdsong, water - have a calming effect on our nervous system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They signalise safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Quite different from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The The vastness of a landscape<\/strong> plays a role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When our eyes can look into the distance, the whole body automatically relaxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is why many people find mountains particularly regenerative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Alps offer a special combination:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This tranquillity can still be felt, especially in remote valleys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You hear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wind in the trees. Nothing more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This form of silence has become rare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the upper Gurktal valley in Carinthia, there is a place where exactly this kind of tranquillity still exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ebner 1822<\/strong> is not a classic hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a small family farm that has existed for over 200 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Barbara and Mario Sonnleitner have created three chalets here that are deliberately designed differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No reception. Only:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The houses were built from Wood, straw and clay<\/strong> materials that create a particularly pleasant indoor climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many guests say that they already sleep differently on the first night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maybe it's the silence. Probably everything together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many report a similar process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the first day, the head remains restless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the second day you feel tired - the body starts to make up for what it has been missing for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Something changes from the third day onwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thoughts slow down. You begin to perceive again:<\/p>\n\n\n\n the landscape And often also themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many successful people believe for a long time that they simply have to keep working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But our bodies are not designed to be under constant tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Regeneration is not a luxury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a prerequisite for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Those who regularly take real breaks remain efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not despite the calm - In a world full of stimuli, silence is one of the most valuable commodities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not because it is exclusive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But because it has become rare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A place where you don't have to do anything. Perhaps that is precisely the luxury of our time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A few days without noise. Simply nature. If you would like to experience what such silence feels like, you will find it in the Ebner 1822 nature retreat in Gurktal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Three chalets.

Not entertainment.
But silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But because our body needs these breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nWhy our brains hardly get any rest these days<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
but they no longer regenerate properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nWhat silence does to our nervous system<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
The body switches from Power mode<\/strong> in the Regeneration mode<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Breathing becomes deeper.
Stress hormones are reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Thoughts organise themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nWhy real recovery has become rare<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Breakfast buffet at 9 am.
Guided hike at 11 am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nThe power of a place without a programme<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
When to eat.
When to go for a walk.
Or simply sit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thoughts slow down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nWhy nature plays a special role here<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n\n\n\nWhy the Alps are an ideal place for tranquillity<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\n
Bird calls.
Perhaps the distant ringing of a cowbell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nA place that was created precisely for this purpose: Ebner 1822<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
No programme.
No animation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Perhaps in the air.
Perhaps because of the atmosphere of this place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nWhat guests often experience<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
The view becomes calmer.
The breath deeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the sounds
your own body<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nRegeneration is not a weakness<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\n
but because of her<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nConclusion<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Where your nervous system can come to rest.
Where you can hear again what real silence sounds like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Without expectations.
Without constant distraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Simply rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Absolute privacy.
And a landscape that gives you space to breathe again.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
