Hi everyone! On **Saturday, May 02, 2026**, I’m planning a beautiful loop hike around the **Perchtoldsdorfer Heide**, one of the most scenic nature areas on the southern edge of Vienna. This route takes us through a protected **nature reserve** with open landscapes, gentle hills, and wide views towards Vienna and the Wienerwald. In spring, the area is especially pleasant, with fresh greenery and a peaceful atmosphere. It’s a varied hike combining forest paths, meadows, and panoramic viewpoints. **Highlights** * 🌿 **Walking through the beautiful Perchtoldsdorfer Heide Nature Reserve** * 🌄 **Panoramic views over Vienna and the Wienerwald** 📍**Meeting Point** **Rodaun – Tram 60 Terminus** **09:00 a.m.** Please arrive a few minutes early so we can start calmly together. **Hike Details** **Duration:** approx. **5.5 hours** (pure walking time) **Distance:** approx. **15 km** (depending on small variations) **Elevation:** approx. **500 m ascent** **Difficulty:** Easy (technically), requires basic fitness **Pace:** Comfortable and social, with regular short breaks This hike is ideal if you would like a **moderate workout** without technical difficulty.

Describing the API using OpenAPI or some other specification language is good. But how to make sure all affected parties have the same version of the API spec and that spec changes don't happen before all API users are ready? Let's discover how schema registries can bring order and automation in this. We'll take a look at how you can use them with Java and why the choice of the schema specification language matters. **About Marián Varga** Marián Varga has worked with Java for more than 20 years. He wrote the book Mastering RESTful Web Services with Java and keeps helping software development projects get their integrations right.

This interactive presentation will show what happens behind the scenes in those processes, how you can participate, and practical ways you can use Java's evolution to build technical expertise, and advance your career beyond the senior level. In this session you will: \- Understand the secret Java Champions use to build technical expertise \- How to think like Java's main architect\, and build impact in your project and beyond \- How to use Java's pillars to build a growth spiral for your own career **About Bruno Souza** Since 1995, [Bruno Souza](https://www.linkedin.com/in/brjavaman/) has been helping Java developers advance their careers and work on exciting projects.

Dear friends, After canceling this walk from 26. March, due to the bed weather, we try it some weeks later. In the Perchtoldsdorfer Heide we can see protected flowers like "adonis and pasque flower" (see photos), the typical vegetation in dry grasslands. Migration-birds begins to come back, I heard already the voices of chaffinch and blackcaps and a pair of kestrels is looking for a breading place. I hope to see you again, after this long time, in good health and with big motivation. Let us meet at the end of **Tramway 60 in Rodaun at 10:00** It will be usefull to bring drinking bottles because there is no restaurant in the Heide. But we can visit one after hiking, on the return to the station, crossing the city of Perchotldsdorf. Happy to see you Adi Liebe Leute, Nachdem der letzte Termin am 26.03. wegen Schlechtwetters unmöglich war, versuchen wir es ein paar Wochen später nochmals. In der Perchtoldsdorfer Heide blühen Blumen, die für Trockenrasengebiete typisch sind. Es sind geschütze Arten, wie der Frühlingsadonis, oder die Kuhschelle. und es werden noch einige Arten dazu gekommen Die ersten Zugvögel sind schon da, ich konnte schon die Stimmen von Buchfink und Mönchsgrasmücke hören. Auch ein Turmfalkenpaar sucht sein angestammtes Revier wieder auf. Und jede Woche kommen nun weitere Arten hinzu. Nach dieser langen Zeit freue ich mich darauf, möglichst viele von euch bei guter Gesundheit wieder zu sehen und mit frischem Mut. Wir treffen uns bei der Endstation der **Linie 60 in Rodaun um 10:00** Ich empfehle , eine Trinkflasche mitzunehmen, da es in der Heide keine Gaststätte gibt. Wir können aber nach unserer Tour eine aufsuchen, auf dem Rückweg zur Station, der durch Perchtoldsdorf führt. Liebe Grüße und bis bald Adi
