FIVE - A Mindful 5-Day Fast in the Mühlviertel Region
Altenfelden, Austria
$1,085 / 6 Days
A holistic retreat for body and mind:
Enjoyable alkaline fasting is combined with yoga, mindful movement, and deep relaxation. Our creative alkaline cuisine, freshly prepared daily, relieves the body and invites you to rediscover healthy eating. Yoga helps you find peace, release tension, and regain your inner balance.
Alkaline fasting is a gentle form of fasting that does not require abstaining from solid food. The focus is on a nutrient-rich, plant-based diet featuring high-quality, creatively combined foods that relieve the body and promote well-being.
Upon request, you can also book a Buchinger therapeutic fast instead of an alkaline fast at any time. This involves consuming liquid foods such as soups, juices, and broths—for a deeper fasting experience.
Nestled in the lovely natural surroundings of the Southern Palatinate, our family-run fasting retreat—which welcomes exclusively fasting guests—offers a special setting for this mindful retreat. The charming blend of traditional country house charm and modern architecture, our light-filled winter garden, and the spacious garden with a natural pond, barefoot path, and fragrant plants create an atmosphere of peace and comfort.
A wellness area featuring a Kneipp facility, an infrared sauna, and quiet retreats with floating loungers invites you to relax and rejuvenate. Individually bookable massages and soothing treatments complement the fasting and yoga program, offering additional moments of mindfulness and well-being. You can also attend informative expert lectures.
A special place to leave everyday life behind, recharge your batteries, and return to your daily routine with inner clarity, fresh energy, and a sense of lightness.

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.

Be Well Prepared for Your Fasting Retreat:
Your fasting period begins at home with two days of light eating, which gently prepare you for the upcoming fast. This preparation is an important part of the fasting program and makes the transition from your usual diet to fasting easier. We’ll provide you with detailed information and suitable recipe suggestions for these days.
You’ll spend days three through nine with us at the Fastenlandhaus Herrenberg, enjoying our comprehensive all-inclusive fasting program. A soothing combination of fasting, yoga, meditation, mindful movement, and relaxation creates space for regeneration, inner balance, and a newfound sense of lightness.
Your fasting period concludes with two recovery days at home. These are just as important as the preparatory detox days and support a mindful transition back to everyday life. Mindfully structuring these days helps solidify new eating habits and counteract any potential yo-yo effect. We’ll also provide you with valuable information and selected recipe suggestions for this purpose.
Program – Your Days with Us:
Each fasting day begins with a mindful morning ritual in your room. After waking up, take time to stretch, stretch out, 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.
