Short description
The Barmelweid Nature Park is a long-term project that was launched in 2012 to mark the 100th anniversary of the Barmelweid Rehabilitation Clinic. The park took on its current form with the expansion in 2019. It was then, at the latest, that it began to have a noticeable effect on patients, visitors and staff. The nature park combines the protection of high-quality cultural and natural areas in the Jura with the promotion of biodiversity, recreational use and clinic operations. Here, ecological diversity is protected and actively promoted. The positive effect of the natural environment on the healing process of patients and the quality of the workplace influences the decision-making behaviour of the operational management and staff.
