Buchinger Wilhelmi Überlingen

Relax is a short three-night stay for guests who want a brief taste of Buchinger Wilhelmi without committing to a full program. One 45-minute medical consultation is included, along with three nights of Demeter-certified organic meals.

The stay gives access to the heated pool, fitness studio, and Kneipp circuit. You can book additional spa treatments and join daily exercise classes. It suits weekend visitors or those stopping by the Lake Constance region who want to experience the clinic firsthand.

Time Out is a seven-night non-fasting stay at Buchinger Wilhelmi. It is designed for guests who want to rest, eat well, and benefit from the clinic's medical and therapeutic resources without fasting. Two medical consultations are included.

Meals come from the Demeter-certified organic kitchen. You can add spa treatments, physiotherapy sessions, and fitness classes to build a stay that fits your needs. The cultural program of concerts, art, and lectures runs all week. It works well for companions of fasting guests or for anyone who needs a proper break in a medically supervised setting.

The Compact program offers a genuine Buchinger fast in 10 nights. It includes one digestive rest day, six fasting days, and three refeeding days. This is the shortest duration that delivers the core benefits of therapeutic fasting.

Guests receive the same level of medical care as in longer stays. Daily vitals are monitored, two medical consultations are included, and the therapy voucher lets you book spa treatments each day. It works well as an introduction to the Buchinger method or as a regular reset for experienced fasters.

Classic Light is the most compact form of true therapeutic fasting at Buchinger Wilhelmi. In 14 nights, guests complete one digestive rest day, up to nine fasting days, and four days of refeeding. It suits those who want real results but cannot take three weeks away.

The shorter format still includes the full medical protocol. Doctors consult twice per week, nurses check vitals every morning, and the daily therapy voucher covers your choice of spa and physiotherapy treatments. All fitness, pool, and cultural activities are included.

The Classic is the program Dr. Otto Buchinger originally recommended. Over 21 nights, guests experience one digestive rest day, up to 16 fasting days, and four refeeding days. This is the duration most returning guests choose.

Three weeks give the body enough time to shift fully into fat metabolism and trigger meaningful cellular repair. Medical oversight follows the same rigorous standard as the longer formats. The €45 daily therapy voucher, cultural program, and fitness facilities are all included.

The Classic Royal is the most thorough version of the Buchinger fasting method. Over 28 nights, guests move through one digestive rest day, up to 23 fasting days, and four days of careful refeeding. This extended timeframe allows the body to reach deep autophagy and sustained metabolic change.

Medical consultations happen twice per week. Daily health checks track blood pressure, blood sugar, and weight. A therapy voucher of €45 per day covers massages, physiotherapy, and complementary treatments of your choice. The cultural program of concerts, lectures, and guided walks runs throughout the stay.
