The breathing is the connection between body and soul. The Strandhotel Margaretha connects the lake with a particularly pleasant attitude to life. Take a deep breath, pause, enjoy – this principle of mindfulness has priority here. Through “pleasurable savoring of the moment” you are invited to “spend some time with yourself every day”.
The German word "Soul" according to a linguistic hypothesis, was derived from the Proto-Germanic word saiwaz (lake, in German "See"), which means “that what comes from the lake“. It was believed that the souls of people live in certain lakes before birth and after death.
Lake, soul, body, life – it's just one. Just INHALE-EXHALE, just breathe in, breathe out..., click on the enlarge-symbol at the top left of the picture
