Just like in professional life, applying for a tennis scholarship in the USA also means: once your application documents are ready, it's time to put them out on the market. You can learn about the application process at different universities and what you need to consider as a candidate in the third part of our blog series, "The Road to a Tennis Scholarship in the USA." After completing all her interviews with the coaches, Mia faced the decision: which university is right for me? Where are the tennis facilities the best? With the support of uniexperts, part of Keystone Sports, this step was also quickly resolved, so you'll find out Mia's decision at the end of this blog post. Mia's journey to a US college is now a done deal. Go West – that's the motto at the beginning of August!
"Tennis & Culinary Delights in Carinthia" series , featuring the kitchens of our Carinthian tennis hotels, is today's stop at the Parkhotel Pörtschach on Lake Wörthersee. This traditional hotel, situated directly on the lake, impresses with its unique combination of classic 1960s retro design and modern chic. The kitchen also offers a wonderful mix of classic and typical Carinthian dishes and creations. We are especially pleased that the head chef not only answered our questions about Slow Food and Alpine-Adriatic cuisine but also shared one of the most classic Carinthian recipes with us to try at home: Carinthian Reindling. Enjoy this (for now) final culinary excursion to Carinthia. And bon appétit for the Carinthian Reindling!
Over Easter, on our way to Croatia, we stopped in Carinthia and spent two nights at the Parkhotel Pörtschach on the beautiful Lake Wörthersee. This traditional hotel, celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, is one of THE hotel institutions on Lake Wörthersee. Unlike many other hotels, this four-star superior hotel has managed to combine the retro flair of the 1960s with thoroughly modern elements. Today, the hotel offers a truly special ambiance, which completely captivated us during our two-day stay. Added to this is the unique peninsula location with its large hotel park right on the lake . You can read about our experiences in and around the hotel in my travel report.
Come along with us for a short time to the Parkhotel Pörtschach on Lake Wörthersee!
