Abstract

In the context of an ecological and healthy era, green infrastructure is one of the important core elements of the health town, which directly affects people's sensory experience and health effects. Bad Wörishofen, Germany, as a health resort and a natural growing town, has outstanding health characteristics, distinctive features and significant health effects in the green landscape. The town’s ecological landscapes as forest and farmland are restorative. The natural healing park is rich in sensory experience. The attached green space and landscape sketches convey the concept of health. The practice stations of various health facilities are fully covered the town to guide people to relax, promote cognition, and exercise. Bad Wörishofen’s green infrastructure blends with the town, providing the foundation for an immersive health experience. This can provide an important reference for constructing a healthy environment in our country's health care towns, forest towns, and characteristic towns.
