Organic gourmet meals

     All of our fasting packages encompass fasting provisions including
     refeeding days.

     If you have chosen a fasting package and do not want to fast or are
     unable to do so for health reasons, we will charge an additional fee
     of € 79 per day for organic gourmet meals.

     We offer the choice between a vegetarian wholefood diet, a reduction
     diet with 800 – 1,200 kcal, as well as individual specialized diets.

     It goes without saying that we only process food of the highest quality
     that is grown locally. That’s why we have long used only 100 % certified
     organic produce. In addition, in 2019 we became the first clinic worldwide
     to gain Demeter certification for our cuisine.

     Demeter stands for innovation in harmony with nature, for the highest
     level of quality and craftsmanship. This certification shows that we
     take responsibility for our cuisine and for our guests, and meet the
     challenges of combining creative, handcrafted and enjoyable cuisine
     with an approach that is as holistic and sustainable as possible.
     Demeter is much more than “just organic”, it means working closely
     with “our” producers and strengthening the regional value chain.
