What we’re about
We are uncovering better ways of exploring the nature by doing funny hikes and helping others do it. These are the things we have come to value most:
• Individuals and interactions over following a plan.
• Laughter and harmony over being on time.
• Passion and communication over reaching a goal.
• Openness and spontaneity over committing to rules.
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
Our group is about appreciating the nature together, having funny talks during the hikes and enjoying a special after-hike dinner each time.

Wild Valley & Castle Magic 🏰🌲✨
Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof platform 16, Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof, Frankfurt, DEWe start downstream in Trechtingshausen and enjoy the rustic tranquility of the Morgenbach Valley (Morgenbachtal). Far away from everyday life, the path leads us through dense, fairytale-like forests up to the Rhine heights.
The panorama becomes spectacular as soon as we reach Rheinstein Castle. The romantic castle is the perfect spot for unforgettable photos. Our relaxed descent leads us towards Bingen, with the glittering Rhine always in view.
For the crowning finale, we have prepared a reward for ourselves: At around 4:30 PM, we will stop at a restaurant in Bingen to end the day with good food and great company.

For most people sharing a "Gruppentageskarte" (Group ticket) will be the cheapest option (if you don't have a Deutschlandticket) to cover the costs for the transport. The ticket costs 53,50 € and is valid for up to 5 people. At the meeting point we will figure out the ticket situation and buy tickets according to our needs. Don't buy a "Gruppentageskarte" in advance. We will share the total costs of the Tickets needed by the number of people that want to have a spot on it. If you prefer to travel with an individual ticket, of course you can do that.
For people coming by car: We meet at 11:43 at Trechtingshausen, Bahnhof. Please be there in time! It's not a circular hike!

== IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT "RSVP YES" AND "NO SHOW" ==
We have to put some simple rules in place to ease the planning and organizing of hikes and to allow more people to attend. Please don't RSVP YES to simply hold your spot on the event and then drop out at the last minute or simply not show up having decided to do something else that day. Doing so you are not letting other people attend the event, not attending yourself. Repeated history of NO SHOWS could lead you to be bumped to the waiting list or to be removed from the group. The RSVP time is usually closing 1-2 days before the event, in order for people on the waiting list to have time to prepare for attending. Out of respect for others please update your RSVP Status from YES to NO if you will not make it to participate, before the RSVP deadline. If you have to cancel your attendance after the RSVP time has closed, please send a message to the Organizers, so that people from the waiting list can jump in.
== Safety disclaimer ==
The organizers in this group aren't professional hike leaders. You are responsible for your personal safety. Please try and stay as safe as possible, use proper clothing and footwear, have water with you, be alert to the environment, watch out for outdoor dangers and stay on the trail always.18 attendees
