Fasting is more than renunciation - it is freedom
Fasting at Quellenhof means relieving the body and clearing the mind. In the protected atmosphere of our former monastery in Bad Bertrich, we offer you the space for deep regeneration.
- Impulse for change: Discover new inner independence and strengthen your self-confidence.
- Cell recycling (autophagy): We use the knowledge of the cellular cleansing program. By consciously avoiding juices and sugar during the cure, we activate autophagy particularly effectively.
- Tradition meets modernity: We fast according to the tried and tested „Lützner-Buchinger method“, optimized through years of experience.
Your fasting week with Mike Müllers
Benefit from many years of experience. Your fasting companion and landscape mentor Mike Müllers will guide you safely through your fasting period - sensitively, competently and with heart.
- Strong together: We start weekly (always on Sundays) in small groups of max. 15 - 18 people. This is how we overcome the typical fasting crisis together on the third day.
- Activity & rest: Look forward to guided hikes through the Üsbach valley, meditative Qi Gong in the monastery chapel and plenty of time for contemplation.
- Gentle re-entry: We celebrate the breaking of the fast with a delicious menu of seasonal vegetables - for a gentle reactivation of your body.
Bad Bertrich: A refuge of peace and tranquillity
Nestled in a narrow valley of the Eifel, Bad Bertrich offers the ideal setting for your cure. There is hardly any traffic here, but crystal-clear air and the gentle murmur of the Üsbach stream directly behind our house.
- Vulkaneifeltherme (50m away): Enjoy the 32° C warm, naturally heated thermal water.
- Unique healing power: Take advantage of Germany's only Glauber's salt thermal spring for effective drinking cures and relaxing alkaline baths.
- Pure nature: Kilometers of hiking trails right from the front door invite you to soak up the energy of the volcanic landscape.
Good to know for your Lent
- For whom? Our offer is aimed at „healthy people“ („fasting for everyone“). Beginners are just as welcome as those with fasting experience.
- Prerequisite: If you regularly take medication, please clarify the suitability of fasting with your doctor in advance.
- Travel tip: Travel relaxed by train to the station Bullay DB. For a stress-free start, we recommend the Hermes luggage service.
