Buchinger fasting with Winfried Knust
A soothing fasting week for body, mind and soul – let go, find calm and gain new clarity.
More than giving up solid food
At Altes Zollhaus, Winfried guides you through a soothing Buchinger fasting week that speaks to body, mind and soul alike. These days invite you to consciously let go, slow down and gain new clarity.
Buchinger fasting is a conscious break from everyday life – a pause, a fresh start. Surrounded by the nature of the Ore Mountains, with mindful guidance, hikes and a balanced programme, there is room for regeneration, lightness and new impulses.

About Winfried Knust
Winfried accompanies his fasting guests with heart, experience and a fine sense for the individual processes that can unfold during a fasting week. His guidance is mindful, motivating and driven by the wish to support people on their very personal path to more well-being and inner balance.
As a fasting guide who came to it later in life and a former executive, he knows the demands of work and family life as well as the longing for calm, clarity and a new inner balance. For him, fasting above all means starting anew again and again and escaping the self-imposed constraints of everyday life for a while.
