**After Work Pilgrims: Walk with intention.** Berlin is demanding, and the day was long. And somewhere between finishing work and the night, there's a moment where we just need to breathe. That's what After Work Pilgrims is for. We walk together through the city – through parks in the middle of all the concrete – with intention. Just a few kilometres on foot: with silence, a short reflection, and good company. It's more than a walk. But it doesn't feel like it. Duration: approx\. 2 hours \| Distance: 4–7 km \| Free No experience needed. Comfortable shoes recommended. Come as you are. *** 📅 Wed, May 27, 6:00 PM 📍 Mauerpark & Humboldthain (Meeting point: at Gedenkstätte Bernauer Straße, [https://maps.app.goo.gl/mfuaiQRrPDFjtMpBA](https://maps.app.goo.gl/mfuaiQRrPDFjtMpBA)) 📩 You’re welcome to join our [WhatsApp group](https://www.alexander-steinfeldt.de/hikes/berlin-pilgrims/) for updates and connection before the hike. 🧭 Pilgrim Guide Alex (Mail alexander.steinfeldt@outlook.com or WhatsApp +49 157 57652601)

Fairytale Füssen (Weekend trip)

Fairytale Füssen (Weekend trip)

Fri, May 15, 5:00 AM
From TripstoTales - Berlin based travel group

**About this trip:** Some weekends are meant to help you slow down — this is one of them. We’re heading to Füssen for a long weekend that feels straight out of a postcard. Set in the Bavarian Alps, this trip is all about lakes, mountains, and slow moments in nature. Think clear blue water, scenic hikes, and views that don’t feel real — including the iconic Neuschwanstein Castle. The plan is to keep things simple and enjoyable. We’ll explore spots like Lechfall, walk through beautiful alpine trails, and take in some of the best views in the region — without rushing from place to place. There’s also plenty of time to just relax, enjoy the surroundings, and soak in the experience — whether that’s by a lake, on a trail, or during a sunset. It’s a short trip, but designed to give you a proper break from the usual routine. **Why travel with TripstoTales?** We organise small-group trips that are simple, well-planned, and easy to be a part of. Transport, stay, and the overall flow of the trip are already taken care of — so you don’t have to spend time figuring things out. You can just join and enjoy the experience. The group size stays small, which makes it easier to connect with others and keeps the trip relaxed and comfortable. If you’re looking for a scenic weekend getaway with a good mix of nature, light activity, and a social vibe, this trip is a great fit. **Trip Vibe** Style: Small-group curated Experience: Scenic & fairytale-like City Time: Minimal Activity Level: Easy–moderate Overall Feel: Calm & refreshing Ideal For: Nature lovers Age Group: Adults only Note : To ensure you dont travel with total strangers, we will also arrange a short 3-6 hours hike in the vicinity of Berlin so you get to know the other team members. “Feel free to message if you have any questions before joining 🙂” More information on : www.tripstotales.com Instagram : @tripstotales Join our Whatsapp community : https://chat.whatsapp.com/GbUXptOchFMDVuWubT7DNn
