Buchinger fasting with Claudia Hoppe
A week to pause, let go and recharge – with hikes, qi gong, meditation, silence and the nature of the Ore Mountains.
Fasting, hiking and silence in the Ore Mountains
Fasting is one of the oldest natural healing methods and can gently relieve, regenerate and realign the body. A consciously guided fasting period can be a valuable impulse for your well-being.
At Landhotel Altes Zollhaus, Claudia combines classic Buchinger fasting with guided hikes, qi gong, meditation, silence and the soothing nature of the Ore Mountains.
