❗️Even if Meetup shows it as full — you’re still welcome to join❗️ The weather changed our plans a bit — so instead of the Easter meetup 10.04., we’re going to Hirschstetten: 📅 Date: April 18 🕑 Time: 2:00 pm 📍 Location: (I’ll share the exact location in the WA group https://chat.whatsapp.com/GqWhKBUCR5RAhI6WUguIcR?mode=wwt) Join us for a spring meetup in one of Vienna’s most charming and underrated places 🌸✨ Blumengärten Hirschstetten is such a beautiful spot — with blooming trees, little ponds, a labyrinth, cute ground squirrels, and even small houses like in a little Austrian village 🐿🌷 Even though it’s still inside Vienna, being there feels like you’ve left the city for a while and escaped somewhere in the countryside. I’m pretty sure many people in Vienna still haven’t been there — which makes it even more special to discover together. We’ll take a relaxed walk through the park, enjoy the spring atmosphere, chat, and simply spend a nice time 🌿 Come join us — whether you’re new in the city or have lived here for years, it’s a nice way to spend an afternoon and meet friendly people. Looking forward to seeing you there! ✨

Hi Running fellows, Whether you’re a walker, new to running, a semi-pro, a marathonist or a sprint star - if you want to start your weekend in an active way and enjoy the outdoors in lovely surroundings with a fun, international and multilingual group of people, you are welcome to join us! Every Saturday at 9:30 am, we meet, we run, in the magnificent Schönbrunn park, and then we go for breakfast. Want to discuss politics or the best recipes for banana pancakes? Not a problem. Not feeling social? Tune out with your earbuds - we can talk over breakfast. We are casual. You can be too. What to expect: Start by meeting Adrian, Ali, Liz, Paul and Sonia on-time at 9:30am outside the Schönbrunn U-Bahn stop (exit Grünbergstraße). (Coordinates: 48.1858130, 16.3200640) From there, we walk to the side park entrance where the “running” part begins. The important thing is that you run at your own pace. Typically, small groups of people will run at the same pace as you, so you never have to walk/run alone :) We finish one hour later, at about 10:40am, reconvening just inside the Hietzinger Tor exit. (Coordinates: 48.1858825, 16.3032647). From there, we’re off to breakfast! Breakfast Details: Anker bakery opposite the U4 Hietzing station and depending on the weather, grab something for a picnic in Schönbrunn park, or hang out in the bakery. If you missed us earlier, you can always go there around 10:45. We are a fun group of runners who don’t take things too seriously. We meet, chat, RUN, stretch, chat, EAT and we hang out over a beer every now and then. It's that easy. Please join us for breakfast after the run! The more the merrier. Typically we are 10-30 people, as not everyone who comes signs up on meetup. Important disclaimer: Please only run as much as you feel you can, considering the temperature, weather conditions, your own fitness etc... run and walk at your own pace as the organizers do not assume any liability for any injuries or health issues. Sonia, Adrian, Ali, Paul and Liz

Meet global expats and internationally-minded locals at this open networking night in the heart of Bratislava, Slovakia, conveniently starting and ending at Vienna Main Station (Wien Hauptbahnhof). After arriving in Bratislava by direct train, we first take a leisurely stroll through its medieval city center *Staré Mesto*, passing St. Michael's Gate, the 17th-century main square and revolutionary *Hviezdoslavovo námestie*. Obviously there's a shared history, so what kind of similarities and differences to Vienna will you come to notice in the Slovak capital? But Bratislava is more than just its Old Town. After admiring the iconic Blue Church, we take in in wide angled views of the Zaha Hadid-designed *Sky Park* before having early dinner at Nivy Mall food court with plenty of local and international choices at your own taste and budget. Full and satisfied, we then head over to the [International Night Bratislava](https://bratislava.ixpat.com/internationalnight) for networking, games and fun. Right after the event, we'll hop on our train back to Vienna, arriving shortly before midnight.

Along the way, we’ll have: * beautiful forest and hill views * a viewpoint from a tower with a view over the aqueduct * and we’ll also see the Liechtenstein Castle 🏰 So it’s one of those routes where you get a bit of everything — nature, views, and some really nice photo spots 📸 **Route details:** * distance: ~8 km * elevation: ~200 m up & down * walking time: around 2.5-3 hours We’ll go at a comfortable pace, with time to enjoy the views, take photos, and just have a nice day together. **Participation** €8 organizational fee (does **not** include the train ticket) In case of bad weather conditions the trip will be postponed to 26.04. ——————— ❗️Please make sure to fill out the registration form: the link will be posted in the WA group ❗️

A feast for your eyes: Come explore these vineyards and corn fields, which are Vienna's equivalent of Sonoma Valley. After conveniently meeting up at Vienna Main Station (Wien Hauptbahnhof), we'll first cross through a trendy neighbourhood, leaving urban Vienna and then walk up to a point from where you can see, weather permitting, as far as to the Lower Carpathians. After getting lost in the nearby vineyards, we then venture further downhill until reaching a tree-lined creek. Following the waves, we eventually reach a small village in Lower Austria province, from where a quick train ride will take us back to Vienna Main Station. Underway we'll have fun with ice breakers, discussion prompts and local trivia. Total time: \~3½ hours Language: English To secure your spots, please ...

Jenseits des Oberflächlichen **Bist du es leid, dich nur über das Wetter oder Belanglosigkeiten zu unterhalten?** **Wünschst du dir Gespräche, die inspirieren und wirklich etwas in dir bewegen?** Dann lade ich dich herzlich zu den nächsten „Spirituellen Gesprächen“ ein – einer zweistündigen Zusammenkunft für alle, die auf der Suche nach Antworten, Orientierung sowie tieferem Sinn und Erfüllung im Leben sind – und dabei auch Gleichgesinnte kennenlernen möchten, aus denen vielleicht sogar neue Freundschaften entstehen.

Wir teilen Einsichten und Impulse, die dir helfen können, ein sinnerfülltes Leben zu führen. Diese Gespräche basieren auf keiner bestimmten spirituellen oder religiösen Richtung. Ich bin **Dieter Langenecker**, ein spiritueller Begleiter und Moderator für tiefgründige Gespräche. Seit vielen Jahren unterstütze ich Menschen dabei, ihren eigenen Weg zu finden, innere Klarheit zu gewinnen und ein Leben zu gestalten, das sie wirklich erfüllt.

Lass dich sich inspirieren, begegne Gleichgesinnten und genieße eine herzliche Atmosphäre. Für **Kaffee, Tee, Gebäck und Getränke** ist gesorgt. **Beitrag:** € 15,- pro Person (zur Deckung der Kosten für Kaffee/Tee, gesunde Süßigkeiten und die Raummiete) Teilnehmer aus verschiedenen Meetup-Gruppen kommen zusammen — wobei die Gesamtgruppe bewusst klein gehalten wird (max 15 Personen).

Over time I'm hoping to organize a hike to all the Franklin County Metro Parks. This is the first one so if you're interested jump in! We'll start with the Canopy Walk, a cool feature of this park. Climb 100 stairs to the top - or take the elevator if stairs aren't your thing. At the top there are a bunch of things to play on - a rope bridge, a fireman pole that we can slide down - and more! About fifteen minutes there and we'll head to the natural trail, Buttonbush, Maple and Beech Trail for 2.2 miles then do a 1.7 mile loop on the paved Greenway Trail. We'll be passing our cars as we transition if you only want to do the first loop, or the second loop. Pace of around 3.5 mph but no one left behind. If there is an interest we can grab lunch nearby afterward.

If you are interested in selecting investment choices for your 401(k) or other workplace savings plan, minimizing your income tax liability, or identifying the most effective investments for your brokerage account, we are the group for you. We are a local chapter of Bogleheads, whose investment strategy can be found here: https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Bogleheads%C2%AE_investment_philosophy Or you can peruse the Boglehead forum here: https://www.bogleheads.org/index.php I look forward to seeing you there.
