We are fasting!

A visit to “Hungerburg” is good for body and soul

It's still carnival, but the next fasting period is sure to come! Two people who swear by fasting have told us why. Uschi Zezelitsch also gives tips on how to keep it up. Because: fasting starts in your head! And can theoretically be done anywhere! 

However, both Uschi Zezelitsch and Stefan Zwickl are convinced that it is easier if you don't do it at home. At least not at the beginning. And to get straight to the point: Both Uschi Zezelitsch and Stefan Zwickl, when they talk about fasting, are not just talking about giving up alcohol or chocolate until Easter. The two really take it seriously and travel to a hotel in the Waldviertel region that specializes in fasting cures.
