Warum Wandern glücklich macht

„Wandern wäre unbezahlbar, wenn man es als Medikament verkaufen würde", soll einmal ein Psychiater gesagt haben. Und das hat durchaus seinen Grund. Denn Wandern wirkt wie ein Antidepressivum, hält uns gesund und setzt neue Energie frei.

von Evi Wagner

Wanderer sind die glücklicheren Menschen.
