"Bathing the senses"
Our concept of "Bathing the Senses" suggests a holistic experience for visitors to the Baden Gardens near Vienna. Before, Baden's gardens were mainly a feast for the eyes. We have expanded this into a venue which combines pleasure, appreciation and well-being and in which all the senses are considered. The traditional idea of the formal garden puts a distance between the visitor and his or her surrounds. This idea is showing signs of age! To experience, feel, hear, smell and even taste gardens is an ability that many of today's garden-lovers demand. And this is something which pronatour, with the help of creative concepts, is keen to provide. Skilful staging of the parks' features, playing on their virtues, and a Centre of Excellence for Garden Design have allowed visitors to bathe - using all the senses - in Baden.
