Quiet paths, clear thoughts

Fasting means …
At your own pace – carefully chosen
On average we walk 12 to 15 kilometres a day, at a calm pace and with plenty of breaks – about four hours in the fresh air. Even with little hiking experience you'll manage the routes well, because Fasting hike it's not about performance but about mindfulness.
Physical walking promotes detoxification, protects the muscles and strengthens the heart, circulation and immune system. Geistig nature opens your eyes to what really matters – and walking together creates connection and exchange.
We discover lakes, forests and special places around Neuhermsdorf – more under Hiking in the Ore Mountains and at the Natural lake at the hotel.
How many refeeding days do you need?
The time after fasting counts too
You should plan about a third of the fasting period for refeeding days. Move the slider to your number of fasting days:
Green = fasting days · Lime = refeeding days
On site, Kirsten will give you additional information and practical tips for the time afterwards.
Kirsten Jahns – that's me
After studying to be a teacher, I worked in event management for almost three decades – a fulfilling time, but one that also took me to my limits. Over 13 years ago I discovered fasting as a counterbalance: as inner cleansing, a source of new energy and a path to greater mindfulness.
Today I professionally accompany people on their fasting journey – as a certified nutritionist (ILS) and mindfulness trainer. It's important to me that fasting is understood not as deprivation but as a holistic experience. If you wish, I'll continue to support you after the fasting period too.

Frequently asked questions about experience fasting
Kirsten is available beforehand for all your questions about preparation – call us and we'll put you through.
How do I prepare at home?
Plan one or two relief days with light, easily digestible food – such as fruit, vegetables or rice. You should already avoid coffee, alcohol and cigarettes now.
Wann reise ich an?
Arrival is on Sunday by 5 pm at the latest. In the evening there's a welcome, an overview of the week and the first fasting soup together. You'll find directions to us under Arrival.
What can I drink while fasting?
Plenty of still water and herbal tea, plus small amounts of freshly pressed fruit and vegetable juices and a clear vegetable broth in the evening.
Can I manage the hikes without experience?
Yes. We walk at a calm pace with plenty of breaks. It's not about performance but about mindfulness in movement.
What is autophagy?
A self-cleaning process of the cells that is stimulated by fasting. Find out more in our article Autophagy during Buchinger fasting.
How does the fasting week end?
On Friday we break the fast together – classically with a mindfully eaten apple – and reflect on the time in a closing circle. Then, at home, come the refeeding days.
