The climate has always had a major influence on our well-being. Relaxation is best achieved in an environment with balanced temperatures and constant humidity. Recovery processes are also accelerated under the right climatic conditions. The so-called “healing climate”, including the pure air, is natural and free from harmful environmental influences. As the name suggests, it can have a healing effect on the body.
Gentle climate
The gentle climate in regions with low levels of irritation has great recreational potential: this climate is characterized by a balanced temperature and humidity. Baden-Württemberg, where a temperate climate prevails, is home to numerous climatic health resorts. Here, the climatic conditions are used for health therapy and disease prevention.
Stimulating climate
It is not only a gentle climate with high air purity and constant temperature that has a positive effect on body and mind. Unusual weather conditions also “train” the immune system. In the low and high mountains, people therefore rely on the vitalizing effects of the stimulating climate. The unaccustomed differences in altitude, strong winds and the sometimes strong temperature fluctuations have a stimulating effect on the body. The stimulating climate increases the activity of the immune system and strengthens the body's defenses in a natural way.
Healing cave
Healing cave therapy, also known as speleotherapy, is a special form of climate therapy. It makes use of the exceptional and pure climatic conditions below the earth's surface.

The state's health resort law defines these requirements. The following awards in Baden-Württemberg are based on the particularly good climatic conditions in the respective locations:
