What we’re about
We are a friendly group for everyone who loves to hike in nature and have good company. Beside hiking our focus is on conversation and building friendships.
Our hikes range from easy social hikes to more challenging mountain hikes. For challenging mountain tours, only participants are allowed who we already know from easier hikes and can thus estimate the hiking strength.
Basic Rules:
* Be friendly and inclusive
* Bring suitable shoes, water, snacks, and weather-appropriate clothing.
* Sign up, and please cancel if you cannot attend.
* People who do not respect or recognize other peoples boundaries are removed from the group.
* The journey to the hikes is always by public transport.
* All events are free of charge.
Our hikes are purely joint leisure events. The organizers and co-organizers are not certified hiking or mountain guides. Participation is at your own responsibility and risk.

Ruins, Temples & Winter Magic
Station Praterstern, Praterstern, Vienna, ATHi everyone!
On Sunday, January 18, 2026, I am planning a beautiful winter hike from Mödling to Gumpoldskirchen. We will pass the Burgruine Mödling (Mödling Castle ruins), the Husarentempel (Temple of the Hussars: a classicist temple on a hilltop) and the Kaiser-Jubiläumswarte at Eschenkogel (Emperor's Jubilee Observation Tower).
Meeting Point & Travel 🚉
We will meet at Praterstern station at 08:15 a.m. near the ticket machines on the ground floor close to the exit to platform 1 and 2. The train S2 leaves at 08:30 a.m. (presumably Platform 1).
Please arrive a few minutes early so we can gather. We expect to arrive in Mödling at 09:05. There are regular trains back to Vienna approx. every 30minutes from Gumpoldskirchen.
Please buy your own ticket on the day in advance, its € 2,90 each direction so € 5,80 in total if you have already a valid ticket for Vienna.

⚠️ Important Information
I will send a weather update to everyone registered on Friday evening.
We’ll walk at a comfortable, social pace and take short breaks as needed. There are no huts or restaurants along the way, so please bring your own snacks and drinks (at least 1 liter of water).
It will be cold, so dress warmly and wear sturdy winter-appropriate shoes. Some sections may be covered by snow, muddy or slightly icy, depending on the weather.
Disclaimer: As always, this is a free, private leisure activity. I’m not a certified hiking guide, and participation is at your own responsibility and risk.
Looking forward to seeing you for this winter hike!
