10-Day Vipassana Retreat
Vallendar, Germany
$1,557 / 11 Days
Enjoyable Alkaline Fasting:
Make room for new clarity, fresh energy, and a mindful fresh start to your diet.
Alkaline fasting combined with daily hikes is a gentle form of fasting that does not require giving up solid food. The focus is on a nutrient-rich, alkalizing diet that relieves the body and gives it space to regenerate. The mind, too, is allowed to find peace, let go of the past, and discover new clarity.
Our special fasting meals are prepared fresh daily with great care. Surprising combinations of high-quality plant-based ingredients turn every meal into a delightful culinary experience. A rich variety of vegetables, fruits, fresh herbs, and select specialties such as sprouted grains ensures variety and new taste experiences. We place just as much importance on the aesthetic presentation of the dishes as we do on the quality and freshness of the ingredients—because the eye enjoys the meal too.
Daily guided hikes through the Palatinate Forest, Germany’s largest contiguous forest area, invite you to take a deep breath, get moving, and experience the soothing power of nature. Morning exercises, relaxation evenings, and informative lectures round out the program.
Our spacious garden, featuring a natural pond, a barefoot path, and an abundance of fragrant plants, is a place to pause and reflect. Here, the senses find peace and the mind finds new inspiration.
In addition, various therapeutic treatments and soothing massages can be booked right here at the facility. A Kneipp area, relaxation rooms, and an infrared sauna offer further opportunities for relaxation and regeneration.
Upon request, Buchinger-style therapeutic fasting can be booked at any time instead of alkaline fasting. This involves consuming liquid foods such as soups, juices, and broths—for a deeper fasting experience.
The price for the week is reduced accordingly.
A special retreat to reconnect with yourself, recharge your batteries, and easily take home fresh inspiration for everyday life.

Unser familiär geführtes Fastenlandhaus liegt in der Südpfalz, am Rande eines typisch pfälzischen Weindorfes. Als ärztlich geprüfte Fastenleiterinnen und Fastenleiter begleiten wir ganzjährig ausschließlich fastende Gäste und schaffen einen geschützten Rahmen für Erholung, Regeneration und bewusste Auszeiten.
Auf unserem weitläufigen, 3.300 m² großen Anwesen verbinden sich traditioneller Landhauscharme und moderne Architektur auf ganz besondere Weise. Das Haupthaus im gemütlichen Landhausstil und das 2015 ergänzte Gästehaus mit seiner klaren, zeitgemäßen Gestaltung bilden einen reizvollen Kontrast, der unserem Haus seinen unverwechselbaren Charakter verleiht. Der angrenzende, großzügige Garten lädt zum Verweilen, Durchatmen und Genießen der Natur ein.
Das Herzstück unseres Hauses ist der lichtdurchflutete, vollständig verglaste Wintergarten. Hier servieren wir unsere täglich frisch zubereiteten Fastenmahlzeiten – sowohl beim Buchingerfasten als auch beim Basenfasten. In unserer hauseigenen Küche legen wir besonderen Wert auf saisonale und regionale Zutaten in überwiegend biologischer Qualität. Ein Kamin sorgt in den kühleren Monaten für eine behagliche Atmosphäre. Eine Bibliothek und ein Seminarraum bieten weitere Möglichkeiten für Rückzug, Austausch und Inspiration.
Im Obergeschoss des Haupthauses erwarten unsere Gäste gemütliche Doppelzimmer mit ursprünglichem Landhauscharme.
Das moderne Gästehaus beherbergt im Erdgeschoss einen einladenden Wellnessbereich mit Kneippanlage und Infrarotsauna. Ruhe- und Stilleräume mit Schwebeliegen schaffen Raum für tiefe Entspannung. Ergänzend stehen Behandlungsräume für individuell buchbare Massagen und wohltuende Anwendungen zur Verfügung.
Im Obergeschoss befinden sich komfortable, modern gestaltete Einzelzimmer, die mit ihrer ruhigen Atmosphäre zum Rückzug und Erholen einladen.

Your Fasting Program:
Your fasting program begins at home with two preparation days to help you get ready for the alkaline fast. These days are an important part of the fasting program and play a key role in ensuring a successful start. Conscious preparation makes the transition from your usual diet to an alkaline fast easier. We’ll provide you with detailed information and suitable recipe suggestions for this time.
You’ll spend days three through nine with us at the Fastenlandhaus Herrenberg, enjoying our comprehensive all-inclusive fasting program that includes exercise, relaxation, delicious alkaline cuisine, and personalized support.
Your fasting period concludes with two recovery days at home. These days are just as important as the preparatory detox days and support a gentle transition back to everyday life. Consciously planning these days helps solidify new eating habits and counteract a potential yo-yo effect. We’ll also provide you with valuable information and selected recipe suggestions for this phase.
Program – Your Days with Us:
Each fasting day begins with a small morning ritual in your room to support your fast. After waking up, consciously take time to stretch, lounge, and yawn to your heart’s content. This is followed by tongue scraping, oil pulling, and dry brushing—a soothing way to start the day.

8:00 a.m. – Morning exercises on the terrace
8:30 a.m. – Breakfast in the conservatory

Time for Yourself – Relaxation and Regeneration:
The afternoons are yours to enjoy as you wish and offer plenty of time to focus on your individual needs. Our spacious garden, with its quiet corners, invites you to linger, read, and relax.
The Kneipp and sauna area offers soothing opportunities for rejuvenation, while the floating loungers in our relaxation and quiet rooms invite you to experience deep relaxation. Those who’d like to treat themselves to something extra can choose from a variety of massages and treatments, which can be booked directly at the hotel.
