A fasting program at Marienkron begins with a stay of 7 nights and can extend to 10, 14 or 21 nights. During longer stays, fasting is not carried out continuously.
Marienkron, located in the Neusiedler Seewinkel and surrounded by a natural park, offers an oasis of peace and the ideal setting for fasting.

Marienkron is a place of conscious retreat – for well-being and new strength.
Intermittent fasting is the only form of fasting that can be practiced over a longer period of time. It involves a daily fasting period of 16 hours without food intake (14 hours for women). The healthiest rhythm begins in the afternoon/early evening (dinner cancelling). Depending on personal daily routines, breakfast may also be skipped (with slightly reduced benefits). Intermittent fasting is the only medically safe long-term fasting method and can also serve as an impulse for weight reduction.
From a medical perspective, water fasting or total fasting is strongly discouraged! Due to the extreme lack of calories and nutrients, it can lead to muscle loss and villous atrophy in the intestines, resulting in harmful effects on the body.
