The superbly organized and eventful Kneippiade 2008 in Switzerland set a world record:
516 participants rolled up their trouser legs at the same time to tread water in Lake Thun. The reason for the event, which took place just one year after the previous Kneippiade, was the 75th anniversary of the Swiss Kneipp Association. The organizers transformed the whole of Thun and the surrounding area into a single theme park dedicated to Kneipp.
