Hike and Reflect - Wandern und Austausch

🥾 Hike & Reflect Hiking together, spending time outdoors, having good conversations and simply seeing what develops along the way. We usually meet on Saturday mornings and explore beautiful hiking routes around Berlin that are easy to reach by regional train or public transport. Most hikes take around 4–5 hours and cover approximately 15–20 km. 🌿 What happens along the way From time to time, I will bring in reflection questions, conversation prompts or simple exercises. Sometimes we might practise really listening to each other, explore a personal question, look at something from a different perspective or simply experience nature more consciously. We might also try a short partner exercise or walk a small section with our eyes closed. Everything is optional. You are just as welcome to come along, enjoy the landscape, meet new people and be part of the group without joining every exercise or conversation. 💬 The coaching element I am a certified systemic coach with around 12 years of corporate experience. I bring some of my coaching background into the questions, exercises and overall structure of the hikes. At the same time, this is not about me coaching everyone. The idea is to create a space where people can learn from each other, share experiences, listen properly and discover new perspectives through conversation. I provide a few impulses and a loose framework. The group creates the rest. 🤝 What Hike & Reflect is about Movement, nature, meeting people and having conversations that we often do not make enough time for in everyday life. Sometimes the conversations may become thoughtful, sometimes they will be light and funny, and sometimes we may simply walk next to each other for a while. We will see what happens. 👟 Who is it for? Anyone who enjoys being outdoors, meeting new people and likes the idea of combining hiking with a little more reflection and conversation. The hikes are designed for different fitness levels, although 15–20 km does require a basic level of fitness and being comfortable walking for several hours.

📷 Photo Walk in Tiergarten

Let's go for a walk in Tiergarten and take some nice photos of anything we want. There are no requirements to the equipment or skill level. I have some experience in photography and can give some advice to those who are interested. You can also join if you just want to have a walk regardless of your desire to take photos, but I plan to reasonably wait for others to finish taking photos in different locations. **The meeting point is Tiergarten S-Bahn station. The approximate route is a 6 km long circle which includes these locations:** * **Bellevue Palace** * **Soviet War Memorial** * **Rhododendronhain** * **Denkmal für Karl Liebknecht und Rosa Luxemburg** Smoking, alcohol and drug use are not supported at the event. The event is free, but you are welcome to leave some tips in the end, so I’ll be able to compensate the fees for the organizer subscription.

Golden Andalusia: Moorish Palaces, Mountains and Sea Caves

***Six days across southern Spain, from the Moorish palaces of Granada to a sea kayak under the Maro waterfall. We climb above the tree line in the Sierra Nevada, kayak the Costa del Sol, and end in historic Seville, where the Real Alcázar, one of the city’s great palaces, was used as a filming location for Game of Thrones.*** **HOW DO I JOIN THIS TRIP?** Click on link below to get complete info and to sign up for this event by getting your ticket. [https://urbanaturetravel.com/event/golden-andalusia-moorish-palaces-mountains-and-sea-caves](https://urbanaturetravel.com/event/golden-andalusia-moorish-palaces-mountains-and-sea-caves) **SPECIAL OFFER FOR NEW USERS** * 10% New User Discount using promo code: **MEETUP10** * Valid for this trip or any other trips available on our website. **🌍WHY GO?** There is no better place to spend an autumn break than the Costa del Sol, the **sunniest region of Spain**. Late October is the ideal time to visit Andalusia. Daytime temperatures sit comfortably between 22°C and 28°C, the Mediterranean is still warm enough for swimming, and the dense summer crowds have finally gone home. The amazing weather is just the start. What surprises most people is the dramatic landscape. The **Sierra Nevada**, mainland Spain’s highest mountain range, is just 45 minutes from Granada. This means we can hike at an altitude of 3,000 meters in the morning and be back in the city for tapas by evening. An hour south, the mountains plunge straight into the sea. The coastline east of **Málaga** is a protected stretch of cliffs and coves where we’ll kayak into sea caves beneath the Maro cliffs and swim under a waterfall that drops directly into the Mediterranean. Very few places in Europe let you experience both environments in the same week. When it comes to food, **Granada** is one of the last cities in Spain where every drink arrives with a complimentary plate of food, naturally turning dinner into a relaxed crawl from bar to bar. One evening, we’ll head to the Albaicín for flamenco to experience it in an authentic, intimate tablao. Woven through all of this is a history completely unlike the rest of Europe. Eight centuries of Moorish rule left behind masterpieces like the Alhambra in Granada and the Real Alcázar in **Seville**. These palaces are defined by open courtyards, running water channels, intricately carved plaster, and gardens designed specifically for shade and quiet. Join us in the heart of Andalusia for an unforgettable autumn escape, complete with great company, authentic paella, and exceptional wine. **⭐WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS?** **The Alhambra Grounds & the Albaicín:** We walk up through the old Moorish quarter on cobbles that have not changed much in five hundred years, into the free Alhambra grounds, and on to Mirador de San Miguel Alto for sunset. The palace on one side, the Sierra Nevada behind it, and the whole of Granada below. **Sierra Nevada High-Altitude Hike:** Mainland Spain's highest mountain range, and a scenic loop above the tree line at over 2,500 metres. Roughly three hours at an easy pace with plenty of stops. **Sea Kayaking the Maro Cliffs:** Three hours on the water along a protected stretch of the Costa del Sol, paddling into sea caves and stopping at a beach you cannot reach on foot. The highlight is the waterfall that drops straight off the cliff into the sea, and yes, you can swim under it. **The Real Alcázar & Seville Cathedral:** A working royal palace built by Moorish craftsmen for Christian kings, with gardens that take an hour on their own. Next door, the largest Gothic cathedral in the world and the Giralda tower. **Granada's Free Tapas**: Granada is one of the last cities in Spain where a drink still comes with a plate of food, no charge. We do a guided night tapas crawl, trying out all of the specialties Andalusia has to offer. **Traditional Flamenco:** A first-row seat to a traditional flamenco show in a cave-style room in the Albaicín. Experience the soulful passion, fiery rhythm, and unforgettable intensity of live flamenco. **📋TRIP DETAILS** **📅Start and End Date:** Friday morning, 23 October - Wednesday afternoon, 28 October **📍Meeting Time and Location:** Meet your guide around 12 pm at Málaga central train station María Zambrano (exact location to be provided in WhatsApp group for confirmed participants). **📍Finishing Time and Location:** Wednesday afternoon, 28 October in Seville City Centre.

17 km from Westend to Nikolassee (5.5 km/h)

On Sunday, we should get some sunshine in the afternoon. We will meet on the south-east side of the Pichelsberg S-Bahn station, on the platform, and follow this Komoot route: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/2692511554. Please prepare for a rather speedy hike (5.5 km/h). (Bring comfortable shoes, for example.) We will have a break at the café/restaurant in Grunewaldturm. There is also an outdoor seating area with benches and tables where we can enjoy our own food, as long as we sit away from the main restaurant area. If you need to contact other participants during the hike (for example, to find out where to meet us if you are running late), please use the Signal group link that I will send to all participants via private message few hours before the hike. This timing is intended to prevent non-participants from misusing the link for unwanted advertising, which has happened in the past. Signal also allows us to share our locations during the hike without involuntarily forwarding this information to the intelligence services of authoritarian or non-authoritarian states. 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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_effect)). 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.
