Über uns
This group creates outdoor plans heading out from Berlin where a playful attitude is encouraged and expected.
Playful meaning, the focus should be on enjoying the present journey, the interactions and nature, with almost childlike joy if possible, rather than the destination.
In the context of hikes, this often means that the pace is relaxed, we can take unplanned breaks to enjoy beauty, sometimes play physical games, and any participant can propose activities. Sometimes there will be whisper/silence walk sections, sometimes night hikes where we will turn off our lights for a stretch, sometimes the hikes become thematic, sometimes there's storytelling or self-introspection exercises. Paddleboarding? Barefoot? Roaming with no route? Leader switch?
And sometimes, they will just be normal hikes, or other things that are not hikes.
I'll basically throw things at the wall that I'm interested in, and when something sticks, I'll aim to do more of it.
My ultimate wish is to grow a community of people of all paths of life that care about each other and become more than "strangers walking the same direction for one day". But if it does end up being only strangers hanging out, I'll enjoy the heck out of it too.
Let's be playful together!

New Year's Eve Hike - 14 km from S-Bahn Nikolassee to Drachenberg (5.5 km/h)
Nikolassee S-Bahn Station, Berlin, DEThe New Year's Eve on Drachenberg last year was so much fun that I am offering this event again this year! We will meet outside the east entrance to Nikolassee S-Bahn station on Alemannenstraße (make sure you don't get the entrances mixed up!) and follow the route through Schlachtensee, Krumme Lanke, Grunewaldsee and Hundekehlefenn. After crossing the railway tracks and the AVUS at the Grunewald S-Bahn station, we will walk through the forest to reach the summit of the Drachenberg. Ideally, we will arrive at the top of the hill at midnight, just in time to see the fireworks lighting up the Berlin sky. At 0.45am, we will start our return journey to Heerstraße S-Bahn station. From there, it's just a five-minute train ride to Savigny Platz station and Schwarzes Café, where I've reserved a table. The café staff are prepared to serve us food and drink until at least 3 am.
While we will have spectacular views on Drachenberg, please also prepare for unpleasant wind and cold. For this part of the event, it would be useful to bring extra coats, windproof jackets, and hot drinks. Sekt and the like is also welcome!
If you need to contact other participants during the hike (for example, to find out where to meet us if you are running late), use the WhatsApp group. (A few hours before the hike, I will privately share the link with all participants to prevent bots from hijacking the group.) For all other purposes, especially socialising and posting photos, please use the Telegram subgroup 'Event Chat & Photos': https://t.me/addlist/KAOk2PA4BDE0ZTY8 .
The hike will take place if at least 6 people sign up. As long as there are more than 6 people, you can sign up and cancel as many times as you like. If there are 6 or less people, please avoid cancelling, as this might make the other participants feel insecure about whether the hike will take place (or whether there is something wrong with the hike and they should cancel as well --> Matthew effect - Wikipedia). If there are less than 6 participants, the hike will also take place unless the majority of the participants are in favor of canceling the hike.97 Teilnehmer
