Fasting lessons
What is fasting hiking?
Fasting hikes supplement a fasting cure with plenty of exercise in the fresh air. In particular, running in nature and the increased intake of oxygen further support fasting and enhance the effect. By abstaining from food and daily exercise, the body can detoxify more quickly and release new energy. Hiking also helps you to focus more on yourself and thus cleanse your mind. The beautiful landscape of the Bavarian Forest around the Hotel Ödhof is the perfect place for fasting hikes.

Fasting and hiking – an enjoyable combination
What happens during fasting
Of course, you are now rightly wondering what happens in the body during the fasting cure and how it is still possible to be physically active. But contrary to all expectations, hiking is an ideal companion during a fasting week.
Although the stores are empty, exercise is actually very important during this time in order to achieve the greatest possible positive effect. Gentle physical activity boosts the metabolism and blood circulation. This increases breathing and allows more oxygen to reach the brain and cells. In turn, cell toxins and metabolic waste products can be transported to their destination in the liver, kidneys, skin or lungs for excretion. This ensures that there is no or only a medically negligible reduction in important muscle mass.
Walking towards the goal while fasting with fun
Once the completely natural slight discomfort of the first few days has been overcome and the body has adjusted to the new lifestyle, nothing stands in the way of gentle exercise. Fasting walks are particularly beneficial in this context, as the type of movement is slow, leisurely and completely stress-free and involves nothing more than the natural process of walking. Hiking is coming back into fashion, as it is an ideal alternative to sports that overexert the body.
The contemplative nature of hiking, enjoying the surroundings and being able to take in all their beautiful aspects in peace, is particularly attractive as a balance in an age of sensory overload and speed. Hiking allows you to bring your body and soul back into harmony – that’s what fasting is all about. Fasting hikes are the ideal combination for a holistic deceleration.
Spending time in the fresh air provides the body with additional oxygen and fresh energy. The self-determined speed in the corridor, which you can adjust according to your individual needs, ensures that the body is not unnecessarily stressed. Hiking while fasting does not mean having to achieve top athletic performance, but is intended to cheer you up and be a further incentive to successfully complete the fasting period. Because with feelings of happiness and more positivism, the path to achieving a goal is much more fun. At the same time, the effects of a fasting week are quickly noticeable and visible with regular exercise.
Finding the way to yourself
Fasting is also always about finding yourself and cleansing your mind. Because here, too, all kinds of thoughts and feelings accumulate in stressful everyday life that weigh you down. The intensive hiking tours in nature are a great way to shed inner ballast. If you want to go even deeper, you can supplement your stay with us with regular yoga sessions, which also give you the opportunity to take a look inside your soul and come back to yourself.
At the Hotel Ödhof, free yourself from what weighs down your body and mind, cleanse yourself deeply and find new energy and motivation.
