Atmen Sie tief durch im hauseigenen Gradierwerk oder ziehen Sie Ihre Bahnen im Innenpool. Den Zauber und Duft des Thüringer Waldes können Sie zudem in Massagen und Beauty-Anwendungen erfühlen. Für unser SPA-Team ist Wellness kein Modetrend, sondern soll für ein gutes Körpergefühl sorgen.

Eating During an Alkaline Fast – Natural, Light, and Energizing

An alkaline fast is a gentle and enjoyable form of fasting that does not require giving up solid food—instead, it involves consuming only alkaline-forming foods. The goal is to gently restore the body’s acid-alkaline balance, relieve the metabolism, and gain new energy—without feeling hungry or physically weak.

What does that mean in practice?
During an alkaline fast, you enjoy three light but nutrient-rich meals a day made from fresh, purely plant-based foods—all of which are alkaline-forming, natural, and rich in vital nutrients.

Acid-forming foods such as animal products, grains, sugar, coffee, alcohol, and highly processed foods are completely avoided.

The result: The body can gently cleanse, deacidify, and regenerate—and you get to enjoy the process! Many people report feeling lighter, sleeping better, thinking more clearly, and having a stronger sense of physical well-being after just a few days.

Alkaline fasting is ideal for anyone who wants to gently relieve stress, slow down, and eat mindfully at the same time—with joy, mindfulness, and a new sense of vitality.
