Cold water, breathing and movement in the Beskydy Mountains
Our friends at Beskydský ledoborec, z. s. are an amateur sports association in Frýdlant nad Ostravicí. Founded in March 2023, they see cold acclimatisation as part of caring for both body and mind. Alongside group dips, they practise functional breathing, relaxation, exercise and barefoot walking, and organise hikes and educational events.
