History - Festivals - Traditions

Our hometown of Neukirchen beim Heiligen Blut can look back on a 500 year history of pilgrimages. Churches and chapels, long-established artisan workshops, the Czech Republic a short distance away and an extensive network of hiking trails - there is something for everyone in Hohenbogenwinkel region. The local museums recount many stories: stories about the history of the artisan crafts, glass and the Glass Street, the clocks and the blacksmiths. Visit the First German Dragon Museum in Furth im Wald and discover these mythical beasts or perhaps the Pilgrimage Museum in Neukirchen b. Hl. Blut to learn more  about the history of pilgrimages.

Traditional events that transcend international borders, the Bohemian pilgrimage that has been recently revived and a shared history are evidence of a vibrant history and a genuine understanding between neighbours from different countries. In addition to culture and traditions, we can offer a host of activities that will make your holiday an unforgettable experience, whether you are seeking peace and relaxation or action and adventure.

Performance Diagnostics And Training Planning

Our performance diagnostics include analysis and testing methods, that provide information about an athlete’s current state of physical health and also his or her endurance and performance levels. It provides the output data that is required to generate an individualised training programme and subsequently ensures that progress can be monitored and managed as effectively as possible. Our capabilities range from training area analyses, muscle function testing and Somatom testing to isometric / statistical maximum strength measurements.

Hypoxic Training in the Altitude Chamber

The benefits of altitude training for high performance athletes have been recognised for approximately 50 years. Ongoing scientific research continued to demonstrate its positive effects. Since then an altitude camp has formed an integral part of training in many sports disciplines which are used when preparing for major competitions. This is why we invested in this method of maximising athletic performance a few years ago. Theoretically, we are able to transport our top athletes up to an altitude of 8,000 metres.

Our swimming pool is equipped with the most up-to-date counter flow system and provides a full body workout, whether you choose to  swim for kilometres on end or opt for quick-fire sprints.
