Hiking & therapeutic fasting
Eight days. Buchinger therapeutic fasting. Five guided mountain hikes. Medically supervised. May week: Sunday May 24 - Sunday May 31, 2026 June week: Sunday June 28 - Sunday July 5, 2026
Fasting moves you. In the literal sense.
When the body is fasting, not only does the metabolism change - the urge to move also increases. Hiking & fasting takes advantage of exactly that: six guided mountain hikes in the Alps around Bayrischzell accompany a week of Buchinger therapeutic fasting at the Tannerhof. The combination of fasting metabolism and moderate endurance exercise in nature supports detoxification, stabilizes the circulation and promotes the mental clarity that many experience during fasting.
The program is not a sports camp. It is a structured week of fasting with daily exercise in the fresh air - supplemented by targeted therapeutic treatments in the afternoon. Vroni Waller accompanies the entire process as a certified fasting guide. Two dates in summer 2026.
Besondere Merkmale
- Move & relieve
- Fasting & cleansing
- Regenerate & refuel
Stay: 8 days, 7 nights
The Hiking & Fasting program comprises eight days - arrival and departure on Sundays, without activities. In between are five hiking days with a clear rhythm of exercise in the morning and treatments in the afternoon. The duration is chosen so that the fasting metabolism can fully adjust and the body benefits from the combination of relief and exercise.
Five alpine hikes
Five guided hikes between around 9 and 14 kilometers through the mountain landscape around Bayrischzell. The tours lead over the Taubenstein, around the Spitzingsee and through the valleys near Geitau and Osterhofen. Each hike takes around five to six hours and is tailored to the fasting level: moderate, but noticeable.
Therapy & medical support
Individually timed treatments follow in the afternoon: Kneipp alternating watering, fasting massage, breathing therapy or Trager work, bio-impedance analysis and a final medical consultation. The treatments specifically support the fasting process - they regulate rather than challenge.
The hiking & fasting week
Phase 1: Arrive & get in the mood
Arrival on Sunday. Arrive, settle in, initial orientation.
Phase 2: Admission & entry into fasting
The program begins on Monday: medical intake consultation and bio-impedance analysis in the morning, a fasting lecture with Burgi von Mengershausen at 12 noon. The body adapts - we create the conditions for this to happen in peace.
Phase 3: Hiking & fasting
Hiking starts on Tuesday. A guided mountain tour every morning, therapy treatments and rest every afternoon. The fasting metabolism works, the exercise in the fresh air supports the process. Vegetable broth, herbal tea and freshly squeezed juice accompany the day.
Phase 4: Deepening & regulating
In the second half of the week, the rhythm takes hold. The tours become more familiar, the body lighter, the mind clearer. Therapy treatments are individually adapted - depending on what the body needs.
Phase 5: Build-up & conclusion
Final medical consultation, final bio-impedance analysis, recommendations for everyday life. The way back to eating begins consciously and calmly - so that what has been achieved has an effect. Departure on Sunday.

Guided mountain hikes in the morning and selected therapeutic treatments in the afternoon - coordinated, personally accompanied and geared towards the fasting process. The result is a week that moves and regulates at the same time.
-
A central part of the programme: detoxifying fasting following the Buchinger method – medically supervised, clearly structured and deliberately gentle. Instead of solid food, a precise fasting rhythm with vegetable broths, light soups, freshly pressed juices, herbal teas and water. Not "nothing," but the right thing. At the right time. With attention and calm. A reduction that doesn't harden, but opens. And becomes surprisingly clear.
-
During the medical history and examination, your current state of health and medical history are carefully recorded. Together we will clarify your personal goals and derive the appropriate measures as a secure, clear basis for lasting relief and well-being.
-
Six tours through the Alps around Bayrischzell – from the Taubenstein and Soinsee über the Wendelstein to the Josefthaler Wasserfällen.

This measurement will show your body’s composition of parts water, muscles and fat. Especially when fasting or low carb dieting a before-and-after diagram is an eye-opener to what processes in your body took place in terms of weight reduction.
-
An intensive massage with the precious 'King’s Oil' (an ointment consisting of over 30 herbs and medicinal plants) which boosts skin metabolism and leaves it silky and fresh. A wonderful match to a fasting cure. Products by our favourite organic cosmetics labels MARÌAS and Pharmos Natur.

The essence of Father Sebastian Kneipp‘s hydrotherapy. It is as simple as it is brilliant! Alternating hot and cold casts have an invigorating, refreshing effect. They reinforce vessel regulation and boost the immune system. Starting off slowly we move up just above your knee.
