Das Bayerwald

S

The Bayerwald hotel complex, nestled in a park-like spa garden, offers tranquility, security, and warm family hospitality. The complex consists of several buildings, with the main house, Haus Frieda, and the wellness area in the swimming pool house connected by a bathrobe corridor, while Haus Ulrich is located about 70m away, also within the hotel garden. The hotel is only about a 5-minute walk from the train station and about a 10-minute walk from the town centre. The energy of nature and the soothing warmth provide a unique foundation for your fasting experience.

The spa town of Lam in the Upper Bavarian Forest Nature Park captivates with its central location along the mountain chains of Arber, Osser, and Hohen Bogen. The Lamer Winkel region, with a marked network of approximately 300 km of trails, serves as the ideal starting point for nature lovers, hikers, Nordic walkers, and trail runners. Experience the scenic diversity and harmony in tune with nature. Explore the peaks and enjoy the expansive views from the numerous mountain huts and isolated farms of the forest farmers.

Experience Bavarian hospitality and internationally influenced cuisine in our cosy restaurant or garden room. Our dishes are freshly made using diverse and regional ingredients. Our pampering board includes a generous and varied breakfast, coffee and cake or ice cream in the afternoon, and in the evening, a 4-course half-board menu awaits you with soup or starter, salad plate, a choice of five main courses, and various desserts.

The hotel specializes in Buchinger fasting and Schroth treatments, which can counteract body acidification.

The wellness area (7 a.m. - 8 p.m.) features an indoor pool spanning nearly 100 sqm, with ample relaxation loungers for unwinding. Find tranquility in the quiet room, while a lounging lawn in the wellness garden offers expansive views of nature for rejuvenation.

The Physiotherapy Clinic Plötz is located in the neighbouring building, about 50 metres away. The clinic is well-frequented, so there may be slight delays in scheduling appointments!

The spa doctor's office is in the neighbouring town of Arrach or in Bad Kötzing, and the hotel can organise a transfer.

Fasting is the strongest appeal to the natural self-healing powers of a person, both physically and mentally. (Dr. Heinz Fahrner).
In everyday life, we often forget to take care of ourselves - through poor diet, insufficient exercise, and the worries of daily life, we often become sluggish and unmotivated.

Buchinger Therapeutic Fasting - Fasting for a Limited Time

During Buchinger therapeutic fasting, you abstain from solid, burdensome food and provide your body only with liquids in the form of vegetable broths, juices, water, and teas. In addition to cleansing the organism, increasing performance, weight reduction, improving blood flow properties, and micro-macro circulation, there is a harmonization of mood and an increase in quality of life and vitality. The desired detoxification and purification process aims to help you achieve new well-being and zest for life.
Ideal for: Heart and vascular diseases, back and joint diseases, obesity, chronic diseases of the digestive tract, high blood pressure, immune weakness, lack of drive, and depressive moods.

Schroth Therapy - Not Starving, But Healthy Fasting

The Schroth therapy combines four important pillars.
1. The Schroth Diet
The diet consists of a calorie-reduced, predominantly alkaline diet without animal protein and fat. This relieves the metabolism and promotes self-healing.
2. The Schroth Drinking Regulation
The rhythmic alternation of drinking and dry days gives the body and the self-healing process an additional impulse and thus supports the "tissue drainage" in the organism. The therapy drink can include mineral water, tea, and even a dry therapy wine.
3. The Schroth Wrap
In the early morning hours, a full-body wrap is administered to the therapy guest. This promotes the elimination of metabolic waste and toxins by increasing peripheral circulation and stimulating metabolism.
4. Rest and Movement
An appropriate balance of rest and movement, preferably in nature, helps to optimally regenerate body and mind. Ideal sports activities to stimulate metabolism include hiking, Nordic walking, swimming - while massages, relaxation techniques, and other wellness treatments provide rest and relaxation.

The Lamer Winkel is the ideal area for cycling & biking and hiking. The most spectacular scenic tour takes you around the surrounding Eight Thousanders from Arber to Eck. But there are also opportunities for relaxation at the Osserbad or the two Badessen. In winter, the ski resorts Großer Arber, Eck-Riedelstein, and Hohen Bogen await you with alpine descents, two cross-country skiing areas at altitudes of 850 m to 1,200 m, as well as snowshoeing and winter hiking. Excursions to Passau or Prague are also recommended. Your personal key to the region is GUTi - the guest card, available in paper or digital form.
