During intermittent fasting 16:8 you will receive two full meals. The day starts with an alkaline breakfast to energise you for the day ahead. For lunch, a light, digestible, and nutrient-rich alkaline dish is served.

Buchinger therapeutic fasting involves consuming only vegetable broth, healthy juices, and teas. With ample fluids, it targets "toxins" and unnecessary burdens. Additionally, colon detoxification is promoted using gentle laxatives. Detoxifying liver compresses and other supportive and relaxing treatments aid the body in detoxification. The founder of this fasting method, Otto Buchinger, who suffered from severe rheumatoid arthritis, found relief through fasting and consequently opened Germany's first fasting clinic in 1920.
Fasting for more energy, health, and joy of life! Alkaline fasting allows you to treat yourself and your health well. All acid-forming foods are eliminated from the diet, and you consume only vegetables, fruits, sprouts, & fresh herbs. This aims to kickstart a long-term and healthier diet in everyday life. During the fasting period at Alphotel Stocker, it's about eating with full presence, savouring the simplicity. It's about finding fulfilment in restraint, consciously chewing, and being inspired by lightness. It's about activating the cellular-level recycling process through reduction.

Family-run house with warm support through many a fasting crisis. Good and varied weekly program. Perfect location for excursions. Direct bus connections on the doorstep. Some rooms/bathrooms need modernization. The sauna area is being renovated and modernized. All treatments in the spa are of a very high standard thanks to excellent staff and a dedicated and competent manager. The price-performance ratio of the treatments and the included services is optimal. See you again 😍

I decided to do a 1 week therapeutic fasting (for the first time) and had my dog with me. At the end I had 5 kilos less, relaxed, normal blood pressure and many valuable tips in the luggage.
