Sunday Badminton Event (10.30h-12.30h) Raketworld U3 Kendlerstraße
This is our weekly event!
-----------------
Hey Badminton Enthusiasts!
This meet-up is for all levels: beginners, intermediates and experts. Everyone is welcome to join, test their skills and have some fun together!
The host will reserve courts in advance, that means please only register if you really plan to come (or cancel at least 24 hours before the event starts). The fee for this event is 12€ (for the 2 hours). If you plan on paying in cash, please bring the exact amount as the host might not have any change available.
We are meeting at about 10:25 am near the reception by the lounge area (next to the courts). Come a bit earlier so you have time to change into workout/sports clothes. The locker rooms are free to use, but for the men lockers you need a padlock - or you can also take your bag of clothes upstairs to the courts if you do not have a padlock. Also, bring clean indoor sports shoes, your racket and a water bottle with you.
There is a drinking fountain available if you need to replenish your bottle.
If you do not have a racket, it is possible to rent rackets from the club, if necessary (3€). Sometimes the host or other members have spare rackets - please ask in the comment section below!
If you are joining our events for the first time, WELCOME! Let the host know that you are new and they will find a place for you. Don't worry, we are an open and friendly group. We are sure you will develop connections with the people in our community in no time!
Without further ado - let's play some badminton and have fun together!

Krems–Dürnstein Panorama Loop: Spring Views & Castle Ruins
Hi everyone,
On **Sunday, April 5**, 2026, I’m planning a beautiful spring hike in the UNESCO World Heritage region of Wachau, following a scenic **circular route** **from Krems** via the Hohen Markstein, the Fesslhütte and the famous **castle ruins of Dürnstein**, before **returning to** **Krems**.
Along the way, we pass quiet natural areas, historic stone vineyard terraces, and enjoy wide panoramic views before returning to the charming town of Krems.
This hike is all about **walking, wide views, and enjoying the landscape together** — with plenty of time for conversation, short breaks, and simply being outdoors.
**Fitness Note:**
Although we will walk at a relaxed pace, the hike requires moderate physical effort due to its length (about 18 km).
The trails themselves are not technically difficult, but a reasonable level of fitness is needed to comfortably complete the distance.
**Highlights**
🌄 Beautiful walk from historic **Krems to Dürnstein** through classic Wachau vineyard scenery
🏘️ Charming old towns of **Krems and Stein** with narrow streets and centuries-old architecture
🏰 Visit the famous **castle ruins of Dürnstein**, where King Richard the Lionheart was once imprisoned
🌸 Late March to mid-April is peak season for the famous **Wachau Marillenblüte (apricot blossoms)**. With a bit of luck, we’ll walk right through blooming apricot trees — one of the most beautiful sights of spring in Austria
**Meeting Point & Travel**
📍 **Meeting point:** Franz-Josefs-Bahn station at **07:30 a.m.**, near the ticket machines to buy the group ticket. If you arrive too late for the group ticket you have to buy your own ticket individually, the best choice is likely the **VOR Freizeitticket**. Information regarding the tickets at the end of the post.
The train leaves at **08:00** from **Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof**. We will arrive in **Krems** at **09:08**.
**Hike Details**
**Duration:** Approx. 6.5 hours (pure walking time)
**Distance:** Approx. 18 km
**Elevation:** 300m up / 300m down
**Difficulty:** **Medium** (partly considered demanding due to the length)
More information on the trail:
https://www.bahn-zum-berg.at/waldviertel/fesslrunde-von-krems/
Trains back from Krems to Vienna run every hour.
**What to Expect**
We’ll walk together at a **relaxed, social pace**, staying as a group throughout the day.
This is **not a race or performance hike** — the focus is on shared experience, conversation, and enjoying the landscape at an unhurried rhythm.
We’ll take regular short breaks whenever useful.
🥪 We don’t plan to stop at huts or restaurants during the hike, so please bring your own snacks and drinks (at least **1.5 liters of water**).
🌧️ Weather can be changeable, so **basic rain protection is recommended**.
🥾 Please wear **sturdy hiking shoes**. Some sections may be muddy, depending on the weather.
🦯 Trekking poles can be a great help for extra stability if we encounter any muddy patches.
Please note that **there are no public toilets on the trail itself**.
There is a public toilet in **Dürnstein** before we start the hike and another one in **Krems** at the end. If we are lucky, we may also pass an open **Heuriger** along the way.
**Important Notes**
⚠️ **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.
I will send a **weather update on Thursday evening** to everyone registered.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Looking forward to sharing this **spring day in the Wachau** with you 🌸
Jörg

**\*The "Einfach-raus" Group Ticket**
We will use a group ticket, and it requires some coordination:
**How it works:**
It is one ticket for a group of 2–5 people.
We will form these groups at the meeting point at 07:30; please be on time if you want to participate.
You must travel together for both the departure and the return journey.
You cannot split off and take a different train home if you are on a group ticket.
**The cost:**
The more people in a group, the cheaper it gets.
Expect to pay between €10 and €19 per person.
To be fair, we can either pay by specific group size or pool all the money and split it equally.
**Cash is mandatory:**
Please bring physical cash and coins.
We need to collect the money before buying the tickets to make sure everyone gets their change back quickly.
**Information regarding this ticket:**
[https://www.oebb.at/en/tickets-kundenkarten/freizeit-urlaub/einfach-raus-ticket](https://www.oebb.at/en/tickets-kundenkarten/freizeit-urlaub/einfach-raus-ticket)
If you prefer not to be tied to a group, or if you aren’t sure when you want to head back to Vienna, do not join the group ticket.
Instead, buy the VOR Freizeitticket; it costs €19.90 for the day in Lower Austria.
This will also be your option if you arrive too late for the group ticket or one group doesn't have enough participants for a group ticket.

Sunday Screenings in the Living Room
Weekly screenings from a large archive of many of the most significant, yet seldom seen and rarely accessible cinematic masterpieces in the history of film - from its earliest beginnings to the present day. Screenings are in original language, if English, or original language with English subtitles.
Films are selected democratically on the inspiration of a brief pre-screening discussion. The selected title is typically a "neglected gem" that most of us discover together for the first time. Individual taste is not a criterion and all participants are expected to put the interests of the group as a whole above personal preference or prejudice. In this sense, the emphasis is on openness, exploration, and surprise. Each screening is followed by an in-depth group discussion, led and moderated by the curator.
WARNNG: FilmStory is not just about watching movies! Rather, it's a socially responsible, intellectual engagement, involving an organic approach to group study of film language, philosophy, art, history, politics, and technology. In this sense, the film is always merely the current highlight in an explorative, ongoing group discussion.
**FilmStory** is a members-only series that involves a closely knit community of cinephiles. Events take place every Sunday in a comfortable, private setting with limited capacity. Participation is reserved primarily for regular members, but we're always ready to make new friends!
Non-regular members may request to meet the community and, upon acceptance as a "new joiner," are welcome to participate in one event, according to space availability. New joiners are asked to make a €6 member dues contribution in advance of the requested date. New members receive a message of confirmation and the address of the Living Room in 1080 Vienna upon receipt of their dues contribution.
**FilmStory** is presented and hosted by **[KulturSalon Wien](https://www.meetup.com/kultursalon-wien/)**.

Social Hike: Beethoven Hills + Seegrotte
Be inspired like Beethoven, who roamed these hills in 1814. After gathering at Vienna Main Station (Wien Hauptbahnhof) we'll catch a 20-minute train to a quaint municipality just outside Vienna. A short walk will lead us straight through town and up to its thick walled neo-Gothic church. There, we start our proper hike up and around this picturesque mountain with its token 12th-century castle, which also starred in Stephen Herek's "The Three Musketeers". Expect a lush pine forest, magnificent views and impressive medieval architecture.
But that's not all. Underway we'll also take a detour to the nearby Seegrotte, Europe's largest underwater lake. A mystical place brimming with history.
Price includes train tickets and friendly host. Entrance fee for the 1-hour Seegrotte guided tour and boat ride is \~EUR 18 (not included).
To secure your spots, please ...

Am Sonntag, 05. April 2026 um 18:00, öffnen wir den Raum für eine Live Ecstatic Journey –
eine Einladung, deine eigene heilende Energie durch Stimme und Bewegung zu entdecken.

An diesem Abend erinnern wir uns an diese ursprüngliche Kraft – sanft, ehrlich und tief verbunden.
Durch das Öffnen unserer Stimmen entsteht ein gemeinsames Feld, das uns trägt, nährt und verbindet.
Aus diesem Raum heraus entfaltet sich der Tanz – lebendig, frei und voller Herz.

Free In-Person Meeting: Get Over Losses & Betrayals, Build Lasting Relationships
This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships.
Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship.
Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action?
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships!
Break free from self imposed limitations
Here we will discuss:
• How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes.
• Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you?
• Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it?
• Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love?
• Fights & arguments - what's really behind them?
• What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others?
• How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change?
• Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them?
• How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about?
• How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career?
Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general.
Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person.
Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.
We look forward to having you join us!
This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
