Therapeutic fasting after Dr Buchinger

The Antoniushof in Ruhstorf an der Rott — the Lower Bavarian Rottal, a 1,000 m² GartenSpa with feng shui garden, pool and sauna world — has developed into a house with a clear speciality: fasting programmes as its main discipline. The break here is not led by a rotating therapist role but by Miriam Lorenz, junior manager of the house, fasting guide and qualified gut-health adviser. That makes Buchinger fasting less a package than a guided week.

Seven nights, beginning with a relief day, followed by fasting days with freshly pressed fruit and vegetable juices, home-made vegetable broth and a broad selection of herbal teas. Complemented by a firmly defined sequence of treatments: an alkaline foot bath, a salt-and-oil body scrub, a detox cupping massage, a back massage, a foot reflexology treatment, a head-and-neck massage, a colon massage and, spread over the week, four Rottal hay-flower liver compresses. Whoever wants to stay longer extends to up to 14 nights; a build-up plan for the first days at home belongs to the package. Bookable throughout the calendar year 2026, from 1 January to 20 December.
