Country estate De Tempel

When you discover De Tempel Estate, you won't believe your eyes. This, on the outskirts of Rotterdam? Yes, it really exists! This beautiful estate is located just outside Overschie. The oldest oak in Rotterdam is located here. You smell pine trees, see the sparkling water features and walk along the winding paths.

What does this forest bath do for you?

Forest Bathing comes from the Japanese shinrin yoku, which means 'lush residence under the trees'. It has aspects reminiscent of mindfulness, but is more outward-oriented than inward. Shinrin Yoku is a proven method to lower heart rate and blood pressure, reduce stress, boost the immune system and improve your overall well-being. Forest bathing helps you heal yourself – and also your environment. To give your true self back its guiding power in your life.
