The Schroth cure isn’t a trend. It’s an original. Rooted in Oberstaufen for over 200 years And more relevant today than ever. Because if you want to live more lightly, you have to let go: of burdens, habits and stress. A fasting retreat with the Schroth method brings body and mind back into balance. With structure, calm and surprisingly simple enjoyment. A Schroth cure hotel for anyone who wants to fast in one of the most beautiful places in the Allgäu — whether for the first time or with experience. In spring and autumn.
Our unique natural surroundings and the special healing climate of the Allgäu reinforce the effects of this natural healing method during your fasting retreat.
Schroth at the Bergkristall: guided fasting with real results. More lightness, more energy.
Proven detox programme: Schroth packs, nutrition, hydration, rest and movement.
For over 70 years, people in Oberstaufen have been rediscovering themselves through the Schroth cure. The Alpine healing climate of the Allgäu, movement in nature and a conscious reduction in diet support the body in regulating itself. The metabolism is activated. Inflammation is reduced. Many guests report better sleep, a clearer mind and renewed energy. And yes, a few pounds less. In short: fasting with a longevity effect.

1. The Schroth pack:
Herbal tea and cool, moist full-body wraps in the early morning. They support detoxification, stimulate circulation and bring deep relaxation.
2. The Schroth diet:
Alkaline, vegetarian and light. Low in salt and reduced in calories. Yet lovingly and enjoyably prepared by our Bergkristall kitchen.
3. The Schroth drinking regimen:
An alternation between higher and lower fluid intake. Water, tea, juices and curative wine on selected days. To help flush out toxins.
4. The Schroth balance:
A rhythm of rest and movement. Hiking, yoga and gentle activities combined with mindful breaks, meditation and spa time. Because energy needs recovery.

Schroth is more than fasting. And certainly not a crash diet. Fasting retreats have a long tradition in the Allgäu, with results that truly speak for themselves. We’ve experienced it ourselves many times and guide you both professionally and personally, whether it’s your first or your fifth cure.
Our Schroth doctor, Dr. Susanne Neuy, combines conventional medical expertise with the natural healing method of Johann Schroth. She supports you throughout your stay - with examinations, guidance and a sense of security.
Your fasting retreat in Bavaria can be beneficial for:
Or simply the desire for a fresh start.
