For me it is a personal desire and concern , to commit my passion and my knowledge in sports to the youth.

- Inline- Skating is gliding joyfully over the street and a little bit like flying

- Inline-Skating brings happyness and success to everyboby:

1. better fitness without stressing spine and joints

2. better skill better power

3. faster and foreseeing reaction

4. better balance of the body

5. more self-assurance because of feeling better

6. good figure

- Inline-Skating means being tolerant, and to show a great responsibility and consideration towards other people and environment.

Hohenschwangau

Now I live in my beloved mountains in Hohenschwangau.

I go on my own track (which is not overrun by tourists ) directly up-hill from my home, to the castle Neuschwanstein, into the mountains, into the nature resort with untouched nature, a former hunting area of the Bavarian kings.

In the summer I start with Inline-Skates, in winter with ski with the skates for the ice in my rucksack, from my home straight to one of the lakes near by.

As I want to share my joy and enthusiasm with other people and friends I am engaged in tourist service.

Not only do I give lessons, I also make guided tours ( I was educated by the DAV the German alpine association)
