»Doktor« Arnold Rikli se je pred strogim očetom, bogatim švicarskim tovarnarjem in politikom iz Wangna ob Aari umaknil na Avstrijsko Koroško. Nova barvarna bombažne preje v značilni turški rdeči barvi jim ni prinesla sreče. Hudo bolan si je že drugič pomagal sam in upošteval nasvet Korošcev: »Na Bledu se boš pozdravil in si povrnil moči«. Natančno pred 160 leti je na Bledu odkril čudovito naravo, postal »vernik« svoje terapije z vodo, zrakom in soncem. Bil je pionir hidro, helio in foto terapije in začetnik naturizma. Paciente je razgalil, sončil, tuširal, ovijal na različne načine, pregreval v parni kopeli, prepotil in zopet ohladil, prepovedal alkohol, cigarete in meso. S svojim načinom zdravljenja je na Bled privabil goste iz vse Evrope.

SYNOPSIS
Arnold Rikli, the healer, broke away from his stern father, a wealthy Swiss factory owner and politician from Wangen an der Aare, to Austrian Carinthia. A new cotton dye factory, which used the typical Turkey red, brought the family little luck. Contact with harmful chemicals resulted in a severe illness, but Rikli successfully overcame the ailment by following a simple piece of advice the Carinthians gave him: “Bled will help you heal and regain your strengths.” Exactly 160 years ago he discovered the breathtaking beauty of Bled, became a fervent believer in his combination of hydro-, helio- and phototherapy, and pioneered a movement referred to today as naturism. He exposed the bodies of his patients to sun, showered them, wrapped and steam-bathed them, sweated them out and finally cooled them down, while prohibiting them from drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes and eating meat. People from all over Europe flocked to Bled to undergo his therapy.
