Our tennis and bike tour continues as part of our featurespecial"Tennis & Bike in Carinthia." The third leg takes us to the Hotel Die Post in Bad Kleinkirchheim. This traditional tennis hotel not only offers five beautiful tennis courts and a two-court indoor tennis hall, but also a perfect starting point for all kinds of bike tours. Located in the heart of the mountains, Bad Kleinkirchheim offers a variety of options: you can either head straight up into the stunning mountain scenery, enjoy a leisurely ride along panoramic trails, or descend towards the lakes. Choosing a tour here is anything but easy. I had the pleasure of Janine Ploner, who is responsible for marketing at the Post, about biking. She provided fascinating insights, from various tour suggestions to her own personal favorite. So, hop on your bike!
Why do cycling enthusiasts feel so at home with you?Because everything here has a taste of movement. Of fresh mountain air, of flow on the trails, of that first coffee on the sun terrace after a tour. Here, sporty spirit meets relaxed ease. The best routes start right outside the door – and afterwards, exactly what tired legs crave awaits: wellness, good food, and that warm "I'll stay another day" feeling.

In short: You bring the desire to drive – we take care of the rest.
Why is Carinthia a wonderful holiday region for tennis-loving cycling fans?Because here in Bad Kleinkirchheim, two worlds merge: action and relaxation. In Carinthia, endless bike trails await through the gentle Nockberge mountains, while impeccably maintained tennis courts offer the perfect balance. A panoramic tour in the morning, a match in the afternoon – and in between: sunshine, lakes, and that incomparable southern lifestyle.
Which bike tours can you particularly recommend to mountain bikers, gravel bikers and road cyclists? Do you have a favorite bike tour?My absolute favorite route is the tour around Lake Brennsee and Lake Afritz. What makes it so special for me is that it brings everyone together. Whether you're looking for a sporty ride or a leisurely family outing, everyone can find their rhythm here. The route is varied but never overwhelming, and that's precisely what makes it so valuable. You cycle along at a relaxed pace through shady stretches of forest, constantly discovering glimpses of the water, and encountering those little highlights along the way that are perfect for families: short stops, throwing stones into the water, spontaneously jumping into the cool water. It's not a tour you just "tick off" – it's one you experience together. A bit of exercise, plenty of nature, and that carefree ease that lets you completely forget about everyday life. That's exactly what makes it the most beautiful tour in the region for me.
And finally, the question of all cycling questions: are you an e-biker or still a bio-biker?Honestly, I'm team e-bike – especially on vacation. Not because I want to avoid the effort, but because I simply get more out of the day. A few more meters of elevation gain, adding another loop, taking a spontaneous detour – without it ever feeling like too much. This is especially valuable in the Nockberge mountains: you arrive at the top relaxed and still have energy to really enjoy the view or jump straight into the lake afterward. But: the fun is what matters most. And whether with or without a motor – the main thing is being outdoors, the main thing is being active, the main thing is experiencing "freedom" on two wheels.
run by the Ronacher family 4-star Hotel Die Post,. Centrally located yet peaceful, it five free-to-use clay courts right next to the hotel, as well as a 3-court indoor tennis center with a clay surface. The hotel's own tennis school offers lessons for all ages and skill levels. For those who want to be active beyond the tennis court, there's hiking, cycling, golf, and skiing in winter. Relax in the large wellness area with several pools and saunas. A must-do for athletes: the gourmet half-board, which is highly praised! And there's even a special (tennis) program for families!
