58 km · approx. 49 min by car
3 minutes at -110 °C, recommended 2–3× per week

Focus: Cryotherapy for Pain & Joints
Back pain, stiff joints, rheumatic complaints or tension after long working days bring many guests from Rückholz and Ostallgäu district to Cryotherapy for the first time. The intense cold stimulus at -110 °C slows the transmission of pain signals and has an anti-inflammatory effect, entirely without medication. After a cryo session many report noticeably more mobility – an effect that, depending on the starting point, can last from hours to days. Cryotherapy does not replace medical treatment, it sensibly complements it; if you have an existing condition, please talk to your doctor beforehand.

The physiology
At -110 °C the body first reacts through skin receptors: superficial vessels constrict, blood shifts towards the core and the sympathetic nervous system is briefly activated. After leaving the chamber the vessels widen again – this alternation is the actual training stimulus of cryotherapy (cryo).
The literature mainly looks at inflammatory parameters, recovery after exertion and pain perception. The evidence differs in strength depending on the question, so we deliberately speak of possible effects rather than guaranteed results.
Vasoconstriction
Superficial vessels narrow during exposure, blood shifts towards the core.
Reactive perfusion
Vessels widen again afterwards – the alternation acts like vascular training.
Cold adaptation
Repeated stimuli over several weeks change how the body responds to cold.
For guests from Rückholz
Feedback from our Cryotherapy (Cryo) guests in Ostallgäu district falls into four broad areas. We'll discuss which of these matters most to you from Rückholz before your first session.
Whether the trip from Rückholz pays off usually becomes clear after three to five sessions – that's how long the body needs to settle into the cold stimulus.
First-time bookers from Rückholz receive a short checklist by message beforehand. If you already use a sauna in Rückholz, you can combine both: heat and cold complement each other well. After the holidays many from Rückholz use the chamber as a restart for their own rhythm.
Please note: we cannot promise any cure – every body responds differently to cold therapy. Results also depend on regular sessions of at least 2–3 times a week over a longer period.




You can find all effects in detail on the page Effects – the process is described under How It Works .

The process for guests from Rückholz
Before you set off from Rückholz, it's worth looking at how a Cryotherapy (Cryo) session works: the session itself takes just three minutes, with changing, a briefing and a short rest period around it. On site we explain every step in person – no one steps into the cryo chamber unprepared.
Arrival & briefing
We calmly explain the process and answer all your questions before your first session.
Getting ready
Swimwear, hat, gloves, socks and a face mask – your skin stays dry and free of creams.
3 minutes at -110 °C
Dry cold down to -110 °C, evenly distributed by our eddy-current cooling (Cyclon).
Step out & feel it
Warmth, tingling, freshness: many feel the effect right after the very first session.

Good to know
Session lasting 3 minutes of dry cold at -110°C.
The difference: whole-body cryotherapy with eddy-current cooling (Cyclon) that circulates the cold air evenly around the body.
The cold penetrates about 1mm into the skin and stimulates the nerve endings – including the vagus nerve, which runs along the cervical spine, is positively stimulated by the cold.
The stimulus on the skin travels to the brain and can trigger the positive effects.
Dry cold in general triggers the release of adrenaline and the happiness hormone dopamine, as well as corticoids, for regeneration.
Blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides can gradually normalize.
Even after the very first session you feel better, more at ease – a true mood booster. Already inside the cold chamber you can sense something happening in your body, and afterwards you feel reborn – an indescribable tingling on the skin, a feeling of warmth and a wonderful sense of relaxation follow.
You are professionally supervised throughout the session: we discuss your health situation beforehand, explain the process and stay in visual and verbal contact. We recommend 2–3 sessions per week.
Focus: Immune System & Cold Adaptation
Infections tend to pile up in Ostallgäu district during the damp, cold months. The short, controlled cold impulse of Cryotherapy at -110 °C is a genuine training programme for the body: circulation, blood vessels and defences are all challenged, without the body actually cooling down the way it would in an ice bath, because the cryo cold is dry and lasts only three minutes. Many guests from Rückholz therefore build Cryotherapy into a fixed winter routine, often twice a week. The effect builds up over a series – a single session is more of an experience than a training stimulus.
Guests from Rückholz mainly report two effects: a clear head in the evening and calmer sleep the following night.
The drive from Rückholz takes about 49 minutes without traffic. In Rückholz many guests work in trades and care – jobs where the back works every day. Feedback from Rückholz mostly revolves around less stiffness in the morning.
Practical tips for Rückholz
For a start from Rückholz, we recommend a cryo series of 10 sessions within four to five weeks. During this time the body gets used to the cold impulse, and the effects on sleep, energy and complaints become more noticeable. After that, many guests maintain the level with one cryo session a week.
Many people in Rückholz start a cryo series in autumn to get through the infection season well, and continue in spring for reasons of shape and skin. Cryotherapy works regardless of weather and season.
There are lakes, streams and, in winter, plenty of cold around Rückholz – yet Cryotherapy is something different. Cold water cools the body's core and needs a long time to get used to. The dry cryo cold at -110 °C works within three minutes through the skin's receptors, without the core cooling down. The stimulus is stronger, and the strain on circulation is shorter and more controlled.

Prices for Rückholz and the surrounding area
An effect is usually noticeable after the very first cryo session – but the full benefit builds up over a series. For the 58 km from Rückholz, most guests therefore plan with the 10-session or 10-session package.
