Fasting vacation at Lake Chiemsee—your fresh start to greater lightness!

Imagine arriving and, even before you put down your suitcase, feeling yourself becoming calmer. The fasting retreat at the beautiful Hotel Aiterbach is located directly on Lake Chiemsee, with its own access to the water and a large park that is perfect for taking a deep breath, letting go, and arriving. Here, you don't have to do anything. You can just be.

Aiterbach is a place with soul: a small settlement, established in the late 15th century on the stream that flows into Lake Chiemsee—protected, quiet, almost as if it had fallen out of time. And it is precisely this special atmosphere that the estate still exudes today. Surrounded by ancient greenery, the house was once one of the most beautiful summer residences on Lake Chiemsee. This is where Munich's artists and doctors used to meet, where they thought, laughed, discussed – and probably often just gazed silently at the lake. This artistic past is still palpable: the country house was rebuilt in 1902 by Otto Riemerschmid, with loving details and an architecture that radiates tranquility. Even the sundial on the loggia tells of this spirit – of light, time, and the gentle rhythm of the day. And that is exactly what awaits you here during your week of fasting: a natural, soothing rhythm that brings you back to yourself. Walks in the park, silence by the lake, clear air, wide open spaces. A place that supports you as you unburden yourself – physically and mentally. With each passing day, your head becomes clearer, your heart calmer, your thoughts gentler. You sleep more deeply. You breathe more freely. You feel what is good for you again.

If you have been looking for a place where you can truly relax – not just for a few minutes, but for a whole week – then Aiterbach is just such a place. A place where relaxation does not have to be "made" but comes naturally.

During your fasting week, you will be lovingly and attentively cared for at the Hotel Aiterbach – light, clear, and exactly what your body needs during fasting. Every day, you will be served freshly prepared vegetable broth, warm and soothing – like a little anchor in your day. Fresh vegetable and fruit juices are also available, gently providing energy and supporting the body without burdening it. Throughout the day, you will find fresh water, lemon, and, if needed, a little honey – for those moments when you want mild, natural support. And if you like things particularly cozy: fresh herbal tea, fragrant and soothing, accompanies you through your rest periods, after walks in the park or in the evening when the day slowly draws to a close. Everything is designed to make you feel safe, supported, and well cared for – so that you can concentrate fully on the essentials: relieving stress, letting go, and finding new strength.

How your fasting holiday at Lake Chiemsee will unfold! During your fasting week, you can expect a mindful and natural daily rhythm that gently supports your body and mind. Each day is consciously designed to harmoniously alternate between exercise, rest, community, and time for yourself. The focus is not on performance, but on your personal experience. All activities are voluntary – you can follow your own pace at any time. The morning begins calmly and without rush. Your body can slowly wake up with gentle movement exercises or a light activation session. A group meditation helps you to consciously start the day and find your inner balance. Over a cup of fasting tea, you can enjoy a first chat in a relaxed atmosphere as the new day begins at Lake Chiemsee.

In the course of the morning, we head out into nature. Short hikes or mindful walks around the lake support the fasting process and gently stimulate the circulation. Exercise in the fresh air brings clarity and calm at the same time. There are moments of silence throughout the day, time to take a deep breath or for yourself – to write, reflect or simply be.

Lunchtime is all about regeneration. Fasting drinks such as vegetable and fruit juice, tea, water, lemon, and a little honey support the body, while rest periods allow it to cleanse itself and build up new energy. Soothing treatments such as liver wraps or Kneipp treatments further promote relief and well-being.

In the afternoon, gentle activation exercises such as LifeKinetik or light exercise sessions follow, which appeal to both the body and the brain. In addition, you will receive mindful impulses relating to nutrition, body awareness, and a sustainable approach to yourself in everyday life. Voluntary exchanges within the group create connection, understanding, and often surprisingly valuable insights.

The evening invites you to let go. A quiet meditation or relaxation session helps you to consciously end the day and integrate your experiences. In a quiet, protected atmosphere, the day comes to a close with a cup of tea, while your body and nervous system are allowed to rest deeply.

Throughout the week, you will receive personal guidance and support. There is room for questions, individual concerns, and personal development. The small group creates a trusting environment in which everyone is welcome—just as they are. This fasting retreat is not a break with fixed expectations, but an invitation: back to your body, to more clarity, and to a new, light connection with yourself.
