A Day at BLEIB BERG

A Medically Guided Retreat

At BLEIB BERG F.X. Mayr Retreat in Carinthia, you will experience a retreat shaped by depth and intention. Here, conventional and complementary medicine work side by side. Experienced physicians and attentive therapists approach health as a whole.

The foundation of lasting well-being is the proven fasting method according to Franz Xaver Mayr – a structured, medically guided approach that supports regeneration from within.

Before arrival, you choose the programme that best aligns with your personal goals and needs. Carefully selected add-ons allow you to set individual priorities and deepen your retreat experience. Around personalised treatments and applications, we create the space for true recovery – from an active awakening to a calm, restorative sleep.

A Retreat in Carinthia
As Individual as Your Needs

The rhythm of your retreat in Bad Bleiberg is defined by the programme and add-ons you choose. Upon arrival, our medical team focuses on targeted diagnostics and designs your individual plan of treatments and therapies.

These fixed programme elements are complemented by additional services from our broad therapeutic offering, as well as by the complimentary weekly programme. Together, they create a flexible yet structured framework – one that adapts to you and supports your personal path toward regeneration.

Arrival and Diagnostics

Your retreat in Bad Bleiberg begins with attentive, medically grounded diagnostics. After an initial consultation with your attending physician, the focus turns to your personal needs and current concerns. The scope of the initial examinations depends on the programme you have chosen and its individual focus.

The diagnostic process may include:
– Blood analysis and urine testing
– Body scan and vital parameter measurement
– Resting ECG and heart rate variability measurement
– Metabolic scan
– Functional myodiagnostics

Based on these findings, the medical team designs your individual programme of therapies and treatments. These are scheduled throughout the day during your stay in Carinthia, creating a structured framework for effective and sustainable regeneration.

Your Morning at BLEIB BERG

Morning sets the rhythm for the day. During your retreat in Bad Bleiberg, we accompany you gently into wakefulness – with movement, mindful routines, and space to arrive. Morning exercise, a strengthening breakfast, a moment in the soothing thermal water. You choose what feels right.

06:30–07:00 | Morning Ritual

The day begins quietly in your room, with the first digestive-supporting steps of the fasting programme:
– Bitter salt, alkaline powder, magnesium citrate, taken as prescribed
– Oil pulling with a specialised oral care oil, before brushing teeth
– Dry brushing and alternating showers, for an invigorating start

07:00–08:00 | Active Awakening

After the morning ritual and supplements, gentle movement supports optimal effect. You may exercise independently in your room or join the guided morning session.
From 07:00 to 07:25, the focus is more active. From 07:30 to 07:55, the pace is calm and restorative.
Current details are available on the daily notice board in our retreat.

07:00–09:00 | Breakfast

Based on your physician’s recommendation, your breakfast during your stay in Carinthia is individually tailored. Whether reduced according to Franz Xaver Mayr or gentle and gut-friendly following the mild cleansing diet according to Erich Rauch and Peter Mayr, the principle remains the same: take your time, chew mindfully, and enjoy the quiet of the morning.

Your late Morning at BLEIB BERG

The morning of your retreat in Bad Bleiberg is dedicated to diagnostics, individual treatments and therapies, or selected activities from the BLEIB BERG weekly programme. It is a time for structure, care, and conscious focus on your health.

09:00–12:00 | Therapies, Treatments and Personal Time

The hours between breakfast and lunch are reserved for the key elements of your programme. You may explore Bad Bleiberg independently or as part of the weekly programme, relax in the wellness area, or choose additional health and relaxation services.

A central focus during this time is abdominal treatment and liver compress therapy – two daily anchors for intestinal health.
The physician-performed manual abdominal treatment gently supports digestion. The 30-minute liver compress, using warm hay pillows and heat packs, stimulates circulation and prepares the digestive system for the midday meal.

12:00–14:00 | Lunch

Your lunch is tailored to the dietary stage recommended by your physician. Served at our retreat in Carinthia, it is adapted to your individual needs. Whether reduced or gentle on the digestive system, the guiding principles remain unchanged: take your time, chew mindfully, and allow space for slowing down.

The Afternoon
of Your Retreat

After lunch, your retreat continues with the next elements of your programme. Or you take time to explore Bad Bleiberg and its surroundings. A special recommendation: the healing climate tunnel. Thanks to its unique atmosphere, it is a remarkable place to restore energy – moments inside the mountain that leave a lasting impression and support regeneration.

14:00–17:00 | Therapies, Treatments and Personal Time

In the afternoon, your individual therapies and treatments continue. They may be complemented by skin treatments, movement sessions, or quiet moments in nature.
In the heart of Austria, a retreat also means gentle walks, a good book on your balcony, or relaxation in the hotel’s thermal water pools. Whatever you choose, the result is the same: a sense of ease and well-being that stays.

17:00–19:00 | Dinner

As the day draws to a close, dinner marks a calm and conscious transition into the evening. During your stay in Carinthia, you can look forward to thoughtfully prepared dishes that are carefully tailored to your needs – nourishing, balanced, and full of flavour, without feeling restrictive.
