Walking is bathing in cold water — most often in the sea, lake or river — during the winter, when the water temperature does not exceed a few degrees Celsius. It may seem extreme on the surface, but in reality it is an activity that can be started at almost any age if proper precautions are taken.

Cold baths have a stimulating effect on the whole body. Contact with cool water provokes a spasm of blood vessels, followed by their rapid expansion after exiting the water, which improves circulation, oxygenates cells and improves immunity.

Morsing is also a way to break your own mental barriers. Overcoming the first thermal shock gives a tremendous sense of satisfaction and strengthens self-confidence.

A cold bath is not just an adventure — it is a real health boost. Regular wallowing brings numerous benefits for body and mind, which are confirmed by both research and experiences of lovers of this activity.

Physical benefits:

• strengthens the immune system,
• improves blood circulation,
• supports the work of the heart,
• accelerates muscle recovery,
• firms the skin and improves its elasticity.

Mental benefits:

• reduces stress and tension,
• improves mood due to the ejection of endorphins,
• increases resistance to cold,
• strengthens the sense of inner strength.

Many walruses emphasize that after each bath they feel light, calm and happy - like after an intense workout or a long walk in the woods.

Contrary to appearances, morsing is not just for hardy athletes. This is an activity for everyone who is healthy, aware of their capabilities and well prepared.

However, before you decide to take your first bath, it is worth consulting with your doctor — especially if you suffer from cardiovascular disease, hypertension or heart problems.

It is good to start the sea with short immersions — a few tens of seconds in the water is enough to start. It is best to do this in a group, in a safe place and under the guidance of experienced walruses.

First rules for beginners:

• warm up the body before entering the water (march, squats, trucht),
• enter gradually, without haste,
• breathe calmly, avoid hyperventilation,
• after leaving, quickly dry and dress,
• drink warm tea, not alcohol.

Safety is a key aspect of winter bathing. Proper preparation allows you to avoid cooling and make wallowing a pleasant experience.

The most important rules:

• choose familiar and proven places, preferably with a lifeguard,
• do not morse alone, always with a group,
• do not go into the water after physical exertion or alcohol intake,
• control the time — better briefly, but regularly,
• after bathing, take care of warm clothes and recovery.

Systematicity is of great importance — regular wallowing brings the best health results.

For years, Mielno has been recognized as one of the most popular places in Poland, where winter bathing takes place. It is here that the annual International Walrus Rally is organized, attracting hundreds of cool bath enthusiasts from all over the country.

The winter sea in Mielno impresses with its harsh beauty — the wide beach, the sound of waves and sea air create a unique atmosphere. These are ideal conditions for pounding, but also for peaceful walks and communing with nature.

For many participants, walking in Mielno is not just a sport, but a lifestyle and a way to build a community of people with similar passion.

After an intensive winter bath, the body needs regeneration. The Unitral Hotel in Mielno is a great place to regain heat and enhance the effects of sewing. In its modern Wellness & Spa area, guests can use saunas, steam rooms and brine pools to support the rebuilding of strength and resilience.

The hotel's offer includes:

• recovery treatments after exposure to cold,

Thanks to this combination of activity and regeneration, wallowing becomes not only a pleasure, but also a comprehensive health experience.
