Hi everyone! On **Sunday, March 22nd**, 2026, I am planning a long hike to the Troppbergwarte in the Wienerwald. The Troppbergwarte (542m) is a publicly accessible lookout tower. It’s a bit scary as you can see trough the steps down. If more than 10 people want to go to the lookout, then we have to form two groups, because a maximum of 10 people are allowed at the same time and we don't want to tear down the lookout tower. The hiking route will start at Rekawinkel train station and leads through slightly hilly forest in the Wienerwald and will end at the train station in Purkersdorf. **Meeting Point & Travel** We will meet at **Wien-Westbahnhof train station at 08:40 am at the latest** near the Infopoint. We will go to platform 4 at 8:45 am There is ticketmachine nearby and plenty of seats (see also the photo down below). The train leaves at 8:56 am at platform 4. If it’s better for you, you can also get on the train at another station. Then we meet altogether at Rekawinkel train station at 9:31 am. As Rekawinkel train station is not so far from Vienna a group ticket does not pay off. So **everyone has to buy their own ticket to Rekawinkel train station.** **Hike Details** Duration: approx. **6,5 hours** (walking time and breaks) Distance: approx. **17km** Elevation: **530 m up / 650 m down** Difficulty: **Technically easy**, but **basic fitness required** Since we will not stop at any restaurant, everyone has to bring their own snack. We will make a few breaks for eating and drinking. A long 30 break minute is planed after three hours at about 12:30 at the lookout tower. Be aware, that there are no public toiletts on the way. Please be aware that there are no public toilets on the entire hiking route. So if you need to answer the call of nature and you think you have found a suitable spot, the group will advance for a few minutes and then wait for you or you can use the breaks to make your way into the forest. The expected end of the hike is at about 4 pm at Purkersdorf Zentrum train station, where there is also a ticket vending machine. There are trains bound to Wien Westbahnhof every 10 to 20 minutes. More information about the trail: [https://www.bergfex.at/sommer/niederoesterreich/touren/wanderung/390122,rekawinkel--troppberg--hochramalpe--purkersdorf/](https://www.bergfex.at/sommer/niederoesterreich/touren/wanderung/390122,rekawinkel--troppberg--hochramalpe--purkersdorf/) **Group Pace & Staying Togehter** We will walk at a comfortable group pace and take short breaks when needed. **Practical notes** I will send you a weather update on Thursday March 19th evening to everyone who is registered. **Please bring:** * Sturdy hiking shoes * Layered clothing * At least 1,5 liter of water * Your own snacks (no restaurant stop is planned) **Disclaimer** As always, this is a free private leisure activity. I am not a certified hiking guide, and participation is at your own responsibility and risk. Looking forward to seeing you on the trail! Christian

**Spring Kickoff Ride:** Let’s welcome the new season with a friendly, no-pressure group ride for all levels. We’ll begin with a quick intro, then roll out on a scenic, completly flat route—perfect for easing back in after the winter. **Donauinsel upstream (south bank):** From the starting point, we cycle onto the Donauinsel and follow the cycle path upstream in a westerly direction. The route leads along the south bank of the Donauinsel, which is characterized by its quiet and green surroundings. Here we can enjoy nature as we cycle parallel to the Neue Donau. **West end of the Donauinsel (Langenzersdorf):** After about 10 kilometers, we reach the western end of the Donauinsel, which is located near Langenzersdorf. Here we take a short break of a few minutes, enjoy the view of the Danube and fortify ourselves for the return journey. **Return via the north bank:** For the return journey, we switch to the north bank of the Donauinsel. The cycle path takes us back downstream towards Kaisermühlen. This route offers a different perspective of the Danube and the surrounding landscape. **Arrival at the starting point:** After a total of around 20 kilometers, we arrive back at the starting point at the "Fahrradverleih Copa Beach". **Lunch afterwards:** If we are in the mood for it we can have dinner together at the greek restaurant "Rembetiko" https://www.rembetiko.at/restaurants/donauinsel nearby the meeting point afterwards. **Tour highlights:** * The idyllic nature of the Donauinsel with its extensive green spaces. * The view of the Danube and the surrounding countryside. * A relaxed and well-maintained cycle route that is ideal for leisure cyclists. * Lunch at a greek restaurant. We look forward to good conversations, fresh spring air, and a relaxed start to the cycling season! The meeting point is north of the danube right next to the "Fahrradverleih Copa Beach". **Distance:** 20 km **Elevation gain:** almost non-existing **Maximum altitude:** 171 m **Average speed:** the slowest participant dictates the pace **Note:** The route is 100% paved. **The course (roughly):** https://www.bergfex.at/mybergfex/activity/ef82b3c543b05b376af9cf225d57b8a0/

**History** [Slate Run Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/slate-run/), located south of Canal Winchester in Pickaway County, has roots tracing back to the early planning efforts of the Columbus and Franklin County Metropolitan Park District. In 1963, Metro Parks officials identified the land along Slate Run as having strong potential for a large metropolitan park due to its expansive acreage, diverse habitats, and natural features like the stream that gave the area its name. The largest stream in the vicinity, Slate Run, flows south to northwest through a ridge, providing a logical basis for the park's designation. Between 1964 and 1968, Metro Parks acquired approximately 1,662 acres through multiple parcels, including a key 212-acre farmstead that had been continuously operated since 1805. This acquisition phase positioned Slate Run as a future major addition to the system, following the openings of other parks like Sharon Woods in 1968 and Highbanks in 1973. The park officially opened to the public in 1981, marking it as the sixth Metro Park in the district and, at the time, the largest with its substantial land holdings. From the outset, Metro Parks envisioned incorporating a living historical farm to educate visitors about 19th-century Ohio agriculture. The focal 212-acre parcel, purchased from the White family heirs in 1964, included historic structures that made it ideal for this purpose. The park's development preserved natural areas such as grasslands, wetlands, meadows, and forests while integrating interpretive elements. Upon opening, Slate Run quickly became a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Central to the park's identity is the Slate Run Living Historical Farm, which interprets life on a typical Ohio farm in the 1880s. The gothic revival farmhouse on the site was constructed in 1856 by owner Isaac Fridley and later restored by Metro Parks for historical accuracy. Visitors can explore interiors like the living room, parlor, and kitchen, where interpreters demonstrate period activities. The multi-bay barn, built in 1881 by Samuel Oman (the fourth owner), was meticulously restored with help from Amish carpenters. Heirloom animals such as Percheron horses, pigs, geese, and turkeys inhabit the farm, enhancing the immersive experience. The historical farmstead reflects a long lineage of ownership and agricultural use dating back to the early 19th century. Continuous farming on the land since 1805 made the site authentic for recreating late-19th-century practices, including grain harvesting and animal husbandry. Metro Parks focused on authenticity by restoring original buildings and introducing period-appropriate methods, such as horse-powered threshing machines from the late 1880s. The farm operates with volunteers and staff in period attire to portray daily rural life. This educational component has drawn school groups and families for decades. Today, Slate Run Metro Park spans about 1,705 acres and attracts roughly 250,000 visitors annually for its blend of natural preservation and historical interpretation. The park maintains diverse habitats supporting wildlife like nesting sandhill cranes and reintroduced northern bobwhite quail. Trails and open spaces offer opportunities for hiking and observation amid the preserved landscapes. The Living Historical Farm remains a crown jewel, continuing to teach about Ohio's agricultural heritage. Ongoing programs and restorations ensure the site's relevance for future generations. **Map of the Park** Here is a [map of Slate Run](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/SLR-parkmap@2x.gif). **Summary** For this event, we will hike the Five Oaks, Sugar Maple, Covered Bridge, Shagbark, and Lake Trails. This will be around 4.5 to 5 miles. While Slate Run is moderately strenuous in a few places, it's generally a good place to hike and doesn't seem to wear people out. Some spots on the hike are unshaded, though, so be prepared for the possibility of some sun. I find Slate Run to be very underappreciated for the quality of its hiking. **Where We'll Meet** We'll meet at the [Shady Grove Picnic Area](https://www.google.com/maps/place/39%C2%B045'30.1%22N+82%C2%B050'13.2%22W/@39.758347,-82.83701,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d39.758347!4d-82.83701?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDIxMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D). You can use the map pin I've provided here; it's accurate. There's a latrine at Shady Grove, but there is no running water (no water fountains). We will pass a water fountain when we get to the Buzzard's Roost Picnic Area, although I can't guarantee this fountain won't be off for the winter. I'd recommend bringing some water just in case, at least for after the hike. I'd also recommend [hiking shoes](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D972KN3W) for this park. **After the Hike** Once we're finished at Slate Run, we'll head over to [Loose Rail Brewing](https://looserailbrewing.com/) for [drinks](https://looserailbrewing.com/canal-winchester-canal-winchester-loose-rail-brewing-drink-menu) and [food](https://looserailbrewing.com/canal-winchester-canal-winchester-loose-rail-brewing-food-menu). The brewery's actual address is [37 W Waterloo St, Canal Winchester, OH 43110](https://www.google.com/maps/place/37+W+Waterloo+St,+Canal+Winchester,+OH+43110/@39.8432511,-82.8071032,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x88387be3ac496d83:0x23e8ee9d9391dd6b!8m2!3d39.8432511!4d-82.8071032!16s%2Fg%2F11cp8n8x1j?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDIxMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D), and it's about 10-12 minutes from Slate Run. We should be there by 5 if you can't make the hike and just want to join us for drinks.
