Many winter sports enthusiasts also love nature in summer.
So did the successful ex-athlete Michael Greis, who is being targeted by Simon Schempp.
Oberstdorf - If you love nature in winter, you also like it in summer.
Winter sports enthusiasts in particular defy the weather and are out and about in the mountains or on nature trails in all seasons.
Former top athletes no longer have the pressure to prepare for the season in the summer and so every now and then more time for beautiful mountain tours.
Ex-biathlon star Michael Greis is one of them.
Even though the native of Füssen announced his retirement from competitive sports in 2012, he is still very active.
Be it cycling or playing the FC Bayern legend game - the successful winter sports enthusiast is versatile.
During his career he won three gold medals at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin: individual, mass start and relay.

In addition, he won, among other things, the overall World Cup and three times World Cup gold.
It goes without saying that many wanted to learn something from the German legend.
Two years before Greis' retirement, for example, Simon Schempp made his World Cup debut and even competed with him in the 2010 season at the Vancouver Games.
It is only logical that the two maintain a friendly relationship.
Greis now climbed the "Hohen Licht" - a mountain in the Allgäu Alps.
As he himself describes, a “dream day” on which he even “happened to meet his first biathlon coach”.
But Schempp even had something to complain about.
Old man mastered his tour in short, gray jeans, blue shirt, cap and backpack.
Schempp didn't like that, who casually wrote: “You normally wear short jeans when you go by train.” An allusion to the aging old man who, at 44, will soon live up to his last name in the distant future?

The climber could only smile at the comment and understood the allusion. "At my age you have the variant" one fits all "," he replied and made the fans laugh. The American marksman Matthew Emmons, who won three Olympic medals, thought it was a shame to have missed Greis. “I was there last week too. It's nice there. ”Most seem to agree that everything is nice next to old man's clothes. (ank) *
