I was born in 1976 in Germany, in the Saxony region. My great passion was cross-country skiing, where I won the title of champion of Germany. My biggest successes, however, include winning a gold and a bronze medal at the Salt Lake 2002 Winter Olympics. In the following winter Olympic Games of Torino 2006 I won the silver medal competing with the German team. Meanwhile, during the little spare time that was left, I managed to study and obtain a degree of social worker. I grew up in a natural environment in eastern Germany where contact with nature and physical exercise played an important role in society and people's habits. Walks in the woods, cycling, swimming, skiing and other activities in the wild with my parents filled every minute of the weekends and my leisure time. When my athletic career in cross-country skiing ended, I moved to Metsovo with Lefteris in his homeland. From the first moment I was thrilled by the unspoiled nature and the impressive landscapes of the surrounding area that comfortably compete in natural beauty with other famous places and landscapes in the world. Through walking, cycling, Nordic Walking, skiing, and other outdoor activities with Lefteris, we want to offer our visitors the opportunity to tour and meet the beauty of this place.
