After our first stop on our "Tennis & Golf in Carinthia" themed tour at the Kärntnerhof Tennis Hotel in Bad Kleinkirchheim, we're now heading to our second stop at the beautiful Lake Klopein. There, in St. Kanzian, you'll find the four-star Hotel & Spa Sonne, situated right on the lakefront . The Klopeinersee-Südkärnten Golf Park , boasting 18 holes and panoramic views of the Southern Alps, is just as easily accessible as the hotel's four own clay courts . Whether you prefer tennis or golf, from March to early November, the Hotel & Spa Sonne offers perfect conditions for an active tennis and golf holiday, which you can, of course, book with various activity packages . And then there's the Sonne-See-Bad (lake bathing area) with its three private jetties leading into Austria's warmest bathing lake. A dip in the water is twice as much fun! Even away from the tennis and golf courses, there's plenty more to do: hiking, biking, and all kinds of water sports. You'll never be bored here! Relaxation awaits you at the Sonne See Spa – complete with a unique lakeside sauna. The delicious Alpine-Adriatic cuisine will delight you just as much as the beautiful rooms. I had the pleasure of conducting our tennis and golf interview with Stefanie Obermayer , who is responsible for sales at the Hotel & Spa Sonne. Stay tuned to find out Stefanie's favorite golfer's saying and whether she prefers golf or tennis.

Winning and enjoying – two things that, in my opinion, are mutually dependent. Especially when we're on a tennis holiday. Therefore, the motto of the TennisTravellerexclusive camp on Lake Constance in February was aptly chosen. The perfect location for this camp theme was quickly found in the Ringhotel Krone Schnetzenhausen ; after all, this family-run hotel near Friedrichshafen is renowned far beyond the region for its excellent cuisine and warm hospitality. The Power the Ball tennis school tasked with providing the necessary "winning" on the court, with my support as a side coach. Whether and how we were able to put winning and enjoyment into practice during the four days of camp, you can read about here in words and pictures. Suffice it to say, it was simply a fantastic weekend with top marks from our participants!
