My 04 Best: Stefan Kießling on 'dream destinations'

A lot of people are very much missing carefree holidays and exciting long-distance travel during the coronavirus pandemic. After hanging up his boots in the summer of 2018, Stefan Kießling and his family undertook an extensive world tour, which led them to Asia, Australia, North and South America. In his personal hit list under the heading of 'My 04 Best' in the Werks11 Magazin, Kies includes two not so distant destinations.

01 Ibiza (Spain)

"The island has again and again been worth a visit for us for over a decade. After the 2020 World Cup, we had to find a holiday destination very quickly and that's how we ended up here. Ibiza is now almost like a second home for us. Obviously not to party all the time but more because we can just really relax there and also have great days out. And it's brilliant for the children being able to knock around outdoors."

02 Playa del Carmen (Mexico)

"One of the many sensational places we got to know and fell in love with on our world tour. We have been back there too. The beach between Cancun and Tulum with its Maya ruins is simply fabulous. We had a wonderful hotel there where we quickly felt at home. On top of that, the Mexicans are super friendly and approachable people."

03 Vancouver (canada)

"We landed up there in 2018 as part of our global tour. We spent six days there and had a great time. The city itself is fascinating but we were more excited by the fantastic opportunities in the surrounding area, which we also investigated on bicycles. The expanse of the countryside is simply incredible. We definitely want to go back there again and rent a lodge somewhat further outside the city."

04 Lermoos (austria)

"We've been coming to Lermoos over Christmas and New Year for ten years. We stay in a family hotel where the regular guests get on with each other really well. There is a gorgeous panorama in the Tyrol, the kids go skiing and I go for walks with the dog – simply brilliant. And now I can move really well again after my hip operation, perhaps I might learn to ski again as I'm getting on."
