Every morning, we go for a walk or a stroll for about 1.5 hours. Afterward, at 11 a.m., we have a healthy breakfast with fruit, oatmeal, nuts, yogurt, and milk.
In the afternoon, we do pottery under instruction—building techniques and/or using the potter’s wheel (3 hours). In addition, you can use the pottery studio at any time without instruction.
We eat according to the guidelines of the food pyramid and the 16:8 intermittent fasting method. (We can accommodate dietary requests.)
After dinner, there’s still time to relax—for example, in the sauna. You can also sit together comfortably and play a game if you’d like (a game cabinet is available).
We offer you the chance to realign yourself. Of course, these are all optional activities—no one is forced to participate in everything.
On Mondays and Wednesdays, there may be an opportunity to join in on gymnastics and yoga.

I had great days in Weilrod. Marion is an empathetic host and an excellent cook. Everything is available for pottery. My room was cozy, and I could sleep wonderfully in the bed. 10,000 steps in nature, followed by a healthy breakfast and great conversations. I am completely satisfied with the retreat.

More cannot be done. All my expectations were more than met.

It was a wonderful week. You could do pottery as much and as long as you wanted. In the evenings, we always had a nice game round, not mandatory, but I really enjoyed it. The rooms are very simply designed but serve their purpose. The hostess is very open and communicative. For me, one of my best vacations, and the morning walk was wonderful. I would love to come back.

The vacation was wonderful and really did us good. The walks and occasional exercise in the morning were pleasant and just right (not too much and not too little). The hostess cooked delicious meals and made sure that nothing was missing. You could always ask about the pottery and get advice or help if needed. I was able to realize a lot of projects and "let off steam" creatively. I couldn't have imagined a better retreat and would love to come again in the future. I can only recommend it (for people who like to be creative and hike and appreciate a family atmosphere).

Met great people. Everything was very informal. The course instructor responded to the participants. It was all very relaxed and informal. You could give free rein to your creativity when making pottery. Very good food in the evening. All in all, a great experience.

I had a wonderfully relaxing week. In the morning we did sports (walking, gymnastics, yoga, line dancing) and after breakfast and a short break we did some pottery. In the evening we cooked and ate together and then played games. The hostess is a very nice, patient and kind person. My room with a double bed was functionally furnished and very quiet. The pottery workshop is well equipped, you could choose between different types of clay and there was also plenty of inspiration in the form of books, etc. I arrived by car, so I was able to take a trip into the surrounding area on the free Wednesday afternoon. It would probably have been a bit more complicated with public transport. I am happy to recommend the stay there.
