Hello everyone! Update: Upon request, starting 16:00, let's see how it goes. Learning German (and some other languages!) over some coffee and cake in the middle of Trier. Come along if you would like to practice Deutsch, oder komm mit, wenn du Englisch üben möchtest. Viel Spaß, Fernando

Dear All, Let's celebrate Europe on the European Day! Experience Europe has a special event with guided tours etc. AND Food Trucks! So same procedure as last year ! We will be early hoping it will be less busy in the morning and learn more about Europe. Afterwards, we will sample check the quality of the food trucks. For those who have yet to visit the Experience Europe: It is quite well made. There are some "rabbit holes" where you start reading and loose sense of time. My first visit lasted 2h and ended with my stomach reminding me of lunchtime. Here the link: [https://www.europarl.europa.eu/europe-day/assets/pdfs/2026-luxembourg-europe-day-program_en.pdf](https://www.europarl.europa.eu/europe-day/assets/pdfs/2026-luxembourg-europe-day-program_en.pdf) See you on Saturday!

Welcome to the yearly Mullerthal megaloop trails. Everybody can do as much as they want from them, the estimated time of completion for all individual loops are ~10 hours. The start time and location for Mullerthal 1/2 are adjusted to be exactly the same. Those who miss them can still join route 3 which intersects with route 2 at the famous waterfall (Schiessentümpel), those who miss them all see you in 2027 as these hikes will not be repeated this year. The weather looks perfect for the weekend 22C clear sky ☀️ so the hike is ongoing. Please bring at least 2L water and come in long pants even if inconvenient, against ticks. Saturday is also public holiday so there is a different schedule for the buses, you can get there earlier but make sure you reach the 08:19 bus from Luxexpo latest, which gets there by 08:51.

**Attention**: Based on past no-shows, everyone will start on a waiting list by default. Once you confirm (in a comment or by PMing me) that you’ve actually read the book, I’ll move you to the “going” list. Thanks for understanding! I still remember quite vividly how, on November 11th, I opened the culture section of The Economist and read the following: «“Flesh” is a deceptively complex work which finds original ways to explore masculinity, intimacy, class divides and power struggles. When asked to sum up his book, Mr Szalay declared it was about “being a body in the world”. That body belongs to Istvan, and his world is a place in which he is a passive participant, unable to speak his mind or articulate his desires.» I bought the book immediately and was struck by how intensely I could resonate with it. Let’s see if it resonates with any of you, too!

Hello Friends! Jörg is always hungry, and we all want to go out for a nice walk. This weekend, we can kill 2 birds with one stone! There is an ostrich farm (Straußenfarm, ferme d'autruches) in Contern, and this weekend they are open to the public for the "Straussefest", Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 7pm. We're going to start in Contern near the "Hall Sportif" and do the "Guttland Trail Contern" with a little extension into the Dalheim forest. After around 8km we will stop for the lunch break, but don't eat too much, Jörg promised that there will be ostrich available at the finish line. At least some pâté and salami, I heard, and you can buy ostrich meat for your next barbecue. **Meeting Point:** We will meet at the "Hall Sportif" in Contern. There's a huge parking lot behind the building. https://maps.app.goo.gl/GQw9vQbzVfkBNHti6 **Public Transport:** You can take train RB 4810 towards "Wasserbillig", leaving "Gare Centrale" at 10.42, arriving in Sandweiler-Contern at 10:50. 5 minutes later you take Bus 324 towards "Kirchberg, Luxexpo" and exit in Contern at the stop "Kraizgaass" at 11:02. From there it is just 10 minutes walk towards "Syren", at the end of the town, on the right-hand side. **Car Pool:** If you come by car, you might offer a seat to a friendly co-hiker. https://groupcarpool.com/t/jmsd2t Passengers, please get into the cars of your favorite driver or place of departure, or on the waiting list if there's no free seat at the moment. Don't forget to remove yourself from the waiting list when you find a seat in a car! Disclaimer: The hike is at your own risk, and please make sure to wear proper shoes and bring some water for yourself! Looking forward to hiking with you! Jens. PS: We will not kill 2 birds; one stone would not be enough anyway. Do you have an idea about the size of these things?
