Enjoy diversity at the Falkensteiner Balance Resort

As already mentioned, the Balance Resort Stegersbach not only offers plenty of space to feel good, but also exciting activities for connoisseurs, athletes and nature lovers. Well, let’s start with the food, because wellness makes you hungry.

If you are already looking forward to dinner during your morning meal, then a hotel has met the taste of its guests. While we were still tasting our way through the delicacies of the extensive breakfast buffet, we inquired about the evening menus with a look at the daily program. Hmmmm… we were sure it would be a treat for the palate.

Metabolic Balance

We were all the more astonished in the evening when the waiter in the restaurant Imago told us in a friendly but firm manner that there was nothing for us to choose from and that our food would come soon. We didn’t know until then that we were registered as Metabolic Balance Program guests. Now that we like to be surprised, we took note of this in a relaxed manner and were curious about the new nutritional insight.

Metabolic Balance may not sound sexy, but it’s a sophisticated metabolic program that integrates healthy food into your diet. Despite the lack of choice, we were pleasantly surprised by the delicious meal including dessert – of course, balance program compliant.

The next day we dived a little deeper into the topic of metabolic balance. During a cooking class, we got some valuable tips on what to look out for in a healthy kitchen. For example, we learned:

  • that sheep’s yoghurt together with fruit and a vanilla pod makes an extremely healthy dessert
  • that it is best to make your own vegetable bouillon (throw vegetables in a pot and add water)
  • and that even freshly squeezed orange juice hides a huge amount of sugar

Exciting inputs that will certainly influence my diet (I now have sheep’s yoghurt in the fridge). At the same time we cooked our own lunch, which was ready in no time. By the way, the friend was also enthusiastic. Since our “cooking teacher” has been happily spilling away, he finally has a reason for his mess in the kitchen – “You see, that’s just how a good cook does it.”

On the last evening we were freed from the balance program and were allowed to choose our menu from the “normal” menu. Finally, we tasted our way through the phenomenal dessert buffet.

With all these culinary delights, you should also do something for your digestion in between. Right next to the Balance Resort is a huge 50-hole golf course, nicely embedded in the hilly landscape. Apart from mini golf and a round on an 18-hole putting course, I can’t boast any golf experience. To change this, we took part in the public taster lesson on the driving range. Well, I don’t think I’m going to be Tiger Woods, but my leg position is pretty ;). Savvy golfers will probably find a true paradise here.

Forest Time

Personally, I am more fond of the nature around the Balance Resort than the well-kept green. The range of walking paths is varied and there is something for every taste. Despite thick clouds and drizzle, we dared to go into the forest and didn’t meet a soul on the way. Perfect for freeing body and mind from everyday ballast.

Sweet cravings

For young and old gourmets, another excursion tip: About 40 minutes from the Balance Resort is a chocolate paradise. A visit to the Zotter chocolate manufactory is not necessarily compatible with the Metabolic Balance program, but it is a true feast for connoisseurs. The manufactory follows the bean-to-bar principle, which can be wonderfully experienced and “nibbled” on a walk through the manufactory. We tried pretty much everything along the way – from the cocoa bean to the chocolate drink. Towards the end, we definitely landed in seventh chocolate heaven when it came to chocolates.
