Salufast - Preventive Therapeutic Fasting (7 Nights)

Echte Freude am Urlaub ist die Summe unendlich vieler magischer Momente. Im 4* Aktiv & Vital Hotel Thüringen von Familie Gerber steht für Sie als Gast das ganzheitliche Verwöhnen an erster Stelle.

Bereits die Lage des Hotels ist ein Paradies zum Energie-Tanken – mitten im Grünen des Thüringer Waldes, auf einem sonnigen Hochplateau über der Stadt Schmalkalden mit wunderschönem Blick über das Tal, sowie auf die Rhön und den Rennsteig. Ob Wanderer, Mountainbiker oder Naturliebhaber – im Aktiv & Vital Hotel Thüringen können Sie einfach entspannt loslassen, genießen und sich inmitten der wunderschönen Landschaft erholen.

Ein absoluter Wohlfühl(t)raum – großzügig und stilvoll, in frischer Moderne oder im gemütlichen Landhausstil laden 49 hochwertig und liebevoll eingerichtete Zimmer zum Zurückziehen und Träumen ein. Schlafkomfort auch bei offenem Fenster garantiert.

Im Zentrum des Hotels sind über 1000 qm dem Baden, dem Saunieren und Massieren, dem Ruhen und Verwöhnen gewidmet. Schwimmen Sie die Gedanken des Alltags im Aronia Vital SPA einfach weg. Tauchen Sie ein in eine beruhigende Atmosphäre für Körper und Geist und erleben Sie besondere Glücksmomente bei einem Saunagang im Innen- oder Außenbereich. 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.

Lassen Sie die Seele im beheizten Außenpool baumeln. Sonnenliegen im Sommer, umgeben vom erfrischenden Duft des Thüringer Waldes, glitzerndes Wasser im Pool und Vogelgezwitscher runden Ihren Entspannungsurlaub perfekt ab.

Darf es noch ein bisschen mehr sein? Nutzen Sie unser abwechslungsreiches Aktiv-Programm: Aquafitness im Hotelpool, geführte Wanderungen, Lagerfeuerabende, Bowlingnachmittage, Zumba oder E-Bike Leihe – hier ist für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei.

Eating with Salufast – Fasting with Pleasure and Structure
Salufast is a modern dietary approach designed for everyday use that combines the benefits of fasting with a balanced, mindful diet. Unlike traditional therapeutic fasting, Salufast® does not focus on complete abstinence, but rather on a targeted, calorie-reduced yet nutrient-rich diet—for gentle relief of the body without feelings of hunger.

What can you expect from Salufast?
You’ll enjoy three light meals a day that are optimally tailored to your needs during fasting:

- Rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber
- Calorie-conscious and plant-based
- Easily digestible and alkaline-rich

Animal products, sugar, white flour, alcohol, caffeine, and highly processed foods are avoided.

Salufast combines enjoyment, lightness, and effectiveness—ideal for people who want to give their bodies a break, realign their eating habits, and still enjoy a sense of fullness and warmth.

This gentle fasting program not only integrates well into daily life but often serves as a gateway to a more mindful, vital lifestyle.
