Nature is calling!
How about taking a very special break? It's not always the pressure of deadlines that makes us tired; sometimes it's the feeling that we're never fully present. Fast hiking is a way to recentre yourself physically, mentally and emotionally.
The hikes take us through the charming Nahe Valley, with its rugged rocks, gentle rivers, Mediterranean vineyards and mystical forests. As we walk, we embark on a personal journey of self-discovery. This allows us to learn about conscious detoxification, a clear diet and moments of deep connection with nature.

What makes fasting hiking so effective
When you hike quickly, you avoid eating solid food and exercise in nature every day. This has a variety of positive effects. Your body is detoxified and relieved, your metabolism is activated, and your circulation is naturally stabilised. After just a few days, many people who are fasting report having more energy, feeling clearer in their bodies and experiencing inner peace. Fasting also strengthens the immune system and has an anti-inflammatory effect. Exercising in fresh air also calms the mind, resulting in increased mental clarity and self-confidence. Last but not least, fasting hiking can contribute to a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle characterised by more mindful eating habits, increased exercise and abandoning stressful habits. The group experience is also motivating and creates a sense of community that provides effective support on one's own journey.

FAQ
Who is therapeutic fasting suitable for?
Therapeutic fasting is suitable for prevention and as an adjunctive therapy for:

What do you eat when you're fasting?
Even when fasting, we still meet for 'meals', but we deliberately refrain from eating solid food or drinking beverages for a limited period of time. During this time, we consume freshly squeezed fruit juices, vegetable broths, herbal teas and mineral water (providing 250 calories), which provide the body with vitamins and minerals. According to individual requirements and medical prescription, honey, milk or soy products, vitamins, minerals or trace elements may be added.
In the case of prolonged fasting or as required by a doctor, the fasting diet is modified or supplemented (e.g. with protein in the form of skimmed milk or soy products).
