Fasting week
in the south of Styria
13-20 February 2026
Alkaline fasting is a mild form of fasting suitable for everyday use in which acid-forming foods such as meat, dairy products, bread and sugar are omitted. This balances the acid-alkaline balance in the body, stimulates detoxification and strengthens the immune system - for greater well-being and new energy.
7 days time for yourself and your body
Full of energy and joie de vivre -
Relaxation for body, mind and soul!
Alkaline fasting, like therapeutic fasting, is good for your health. It’s all about omission – in alkaline fasting, all acid-forming foods such as meat, sausages, dairy products, bread and sugar are omitted for a certain period of time. The acid-base balance in the body is neutralised, which also strengthens the immune system. Fasting enables the body to eliminate deposited substances such as waste products, acids and environmental toxins from the tissues, muscles and joints. We therefore speak of detoxification, purification and deacidification.
The two meals help the body to enter autophagy (cell renewal), which we can also use in everyday life. You cleanse your gastrointestinal system and lose weight.
You simply feel great after a base fasting week.

Message from your coach about
fasting in our hotel
My name is Maria Ploder, I live in Unterrosenberg 86 in St. Peter am Ottersbach and I run a Winery with my husband Alfred and my son Manuel and his partner Selina, which we cultivate according to biodynamic guidelines. I came to fasting 30 years ago through Miriam Wiegele. In 2020, I completed my training as a fasting trainer (Buchinger and alkaline fasting counsellor) at the ggf. I am also a qualified sommelier and herbalist. For me, health begins with the soil, which produces everything we need to live. Self-sufficiency is a central theme, which is why we also deal with various preservation methods such as fermentation, pickling, preserving and the production of mustard and cleaning agents. Gardening, cooking, exercising in nature, cycling, reading and our grandchild inspire my free time. My next step is to get other people excited about fasting and to share this joyful experience with them!
Yours, Maria Ploder
