Traversing Trnava (from Vienna)
"Little Rome", as they call it. Did you know Trnava earned this monniker for its multitude of medieval churches? More recently, a shipload of fresh ideas initiated by its Denmark-educated mayor transformed the quaint town into one of Slovakia's most interesting and sustainable urban spaces.
From Vienna main station, a quick train whisks us over to the Slovak capital in less than 60 minutes. There, we have a quick break before taking another express train to our destination, Trnava. Our casual Old Town stroll will stop by Trnava's main avenue, a 16th-century watchtower (entry optional), a sacral coffee shop and other gems of its rich history. Juxtaposingly, we also detour into a socialist-era residential complex just outside the city walls.
Underway we'll have fun with ice breakers, discussion prompts and local trivia. After dinner, our train back follows the stunning silhouette of the Lower Carpathians.
Total time: Full day
Language: English
Bring: Valid Passport/Visa or EU-National ID Card
(driver's license doesn't count as travel ID)
Wear: Seasonal outfit, rain gear depending on weather
To secure your spots, please ...
\# Step 1: RSVP here on Meetup first \(optional but recommended\)

Run+B-fast
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

Gespräche über Spiritualität, Seele, Sinn, Stille und Bewusstes Sein (Deutsch)
**Jenseits des Oberflächlichen – mit spiritueller Tiefe, praktischer Inspiration und in entspannter Atmosphäre.**
*"Es gibt absolut nichts Falsches daran, auf der „Ebene der Form“ zu manifestieren – sei es materieller Wohlstand, kreative Errungenschaften oder Dinge dieser Art. Tatsächlich kann das Manifestieren auf diese Weise zu den lohnendsten und erfüllendsten Erfahrungen auf unserer menschlichen Reise gehören.*
*Doch für viele von uns geht wahre Manifestation über die äußere Welt hinaus und dringt tiefer – in unser inneres Sein (und darüber hinaus)."* (N.N.)
### Einladung zu den nächsten **Spirituellen Gesprächen**
Bist du es leid, Gespräche zu führen, die an der Oberfläche bleiben?
Sehnst du dich nach Austausch, der inspiriert, berührt – und wirklich etwas in dir bewegt?
Dann lade ich dich herzlich zu den **Spirituellen Gesprächen** ein:
einer zweistündigen Zusammenkunft für Menschen, die sich nach Tiefe, Orientierung und einem sinnerfüllten Leben sehnen.
Gemeinsam erforschen wir, wie es ist, im **Jetzt** zu leben –
jenseits von Gedankenmustern, innerem Lärm und der rein verstandesmäßigen Sicht auf die Welt.
### Wer ist eingeladen?
Menschen mitten im Leben (typischerweise 45+), die
* äußerlich vieles erreicht haben, sich innerlich aber noch nicht ganz angekommen fühlen
* eine tiefere spirituelle Verbindung und echten Sinn suchen
* persönliche Begleitung und Austausch auf Augenhöhe schätzen
### Themen, in die wir gemeinsam eintauchen
* **Spiritualität erforschen** – die Verbundenheit von Selbst und Leben entdecken
* **Weisheit kultivieren** – innere Ruhe, Kraft und Klarheit wachsen lassen
* **Mit Wandel umgehen** – Lebensübergänge bewusst gestalten
* **Den eigenen Sinn erkennen** – was trägt dich wirklich?
* **Dem Leben vertrauen** – Freude, Liebe und Offenheit zulassen
Bring deine Gedanken, Fragen und das mit, was dich gerade bewegt.
Wir teilen Einsichten, Erfahrungen und Impulse – ohne Dogma, ohne Belehrung.
Diese Gespräche sind **frei von religiösen oder spirituellen Zugehörigkeiten**.
### Über mich
Ich bin **Dieter Langenecker**, spiritueller Begleiter und Moderator für tiefgehende Gespräche.
Seit vielen Jahren unterstütze ich Menschen dabei, innere Klarheit zu finden, ihrem eigenen Weg zu vertrauen und ein Leben zu gestalten, das sich stimmig und erfüllt anfühlt.
👉 *Hier kannst du dir ein Bild von meiner Arbeit machen:* **[Video](https://youtu.be/_BN4Ch42EUk)**
Ein Nachmittag für **Tiefe, Offenheit und echte Verbindung**.
Begegne Gleichgesinnten, lass dich inspirieren und genieße eine warme, ruhige Atmosphäre.
Für Gebäck und Getränke ist gesorgt.
**Beitrag:** € 15,-
(zur Deckung der Kosten für Kaffee/Tee, gesunde Süßigkeiten und Raummiete)
Bitte gib mir kurz Bescheid, falls du doch nicht teilnehmen kannst.
Und sei bitte pünktlich.
Falls das Haupttor geschlossen ist, nutze den Code **2008 + Schlüsselsymbol** oder schreibe mir unter **0681 1069 1321**.
Wenn dich das anspricht, **melde dich jetzt an** und sei Teil einer tiefgehenden Gesprächsrunde.
Ich freue mich auf dich.
