Shoot Vienna: Donaukanal
Now that the sun is making a return, I'm organising a workshop along the banks of the Donaukanal, taking in the people sitting on its banks, the graffiti & street art, buildings, and reflections that can be captured along the water.
The workshop features an introductory presentation on street photography of approx. 15 mins, along with tips along the way from a photographer featured by The Guardian, BBC and Time Out.
This will be an opportunity to meet with other photographers, and to learn about street photography, for those who are interested in the medium.
All are welcome - whether you're a tourist or a local. We'll set off from
Stephansplatz, then towards Schwedenplatz, followed by a walk along the Donaukanal.
All events take place in English.
* Mobile phone (to contact me if you get lost!)

"Zu höherem Bewusstsein erwachen!" - Jeden 2. FR im Monat
Wenn Sie **HU** (gesprochen Hjuu) täglich zwanzig Minuten lang mit Liebe singen, beginnen sich die Bande und Fesseln zu lösen, welche die Seele einengen. Nicht alle auf einmal, sondern sehr langsam, in einem Tempo, das Sie verstehen und annehmen können. Während diese Bindungen gelöst werden, wächst die Seele in spirituelle Freiheit hinein, für mehr Freude, Weisheit und Frieden.

Hiking Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
🌲Spring Hike from Vienna (with Uschi 🐼)
Spring is back! You are invited to hike with us on Sunday, March 15, in the quiet hills around Vienna, starting together at 13:00 from Hütteldorf U4 U-Bahn/S-Bahn station and reaching the Jubiläumswarte on foot at around 450 mt altitude.
The exact **meeting point** is just outside the station door facing the bus stops (you'll have the Anker bakery on your left when you exit through that door). A funny pug named Uschi will probably join us.
We'll reach the Stadtwanderweg number 4 together and then we'll follow that hiking path entirely. We'll do a 30-minute stop near the observation tower on the top of the hill, where you can eat your fruits and snacks, and we plan to be back at the Hütteldorf station at 17:00.
Please bring 1 liter of water and wear sturdy shoes and comfortable clothes. The hike is not long, but it is moderately difficult. We might sit in the meadow for a while if the weather allows it, so bringing a blanket could also be useful.
IMPORTANT: This is not a guided hike, but simply a chance to experience nature around Vienna together, so everyone is responsible for their own health and safety.
If you need more information, please ask in the comments below.
Social Hike: Moon River
What an experience. After a 10-minute train ride just outside Vienna proper, we'll hit the fields and seek out a small creek heading East, passing two villages and one lovely town famous for its brewery. Low-flying planes hint at the proximity of an airport. Slowly turning into a river, the creek yet leads us in a different direction through thick forests and water preservation areas.
To secure your spots, please ...
Step 1: RSVP here on Meetup first (optional but recommended)

Hainburg: Stories Along the Trail
Hi everyone!
On **Saturday, March 14**, 2026, I am planning a beautiful early-spring hike.
This hike combines scenic landscapes, gentle walking, and many layers of European history in one surprisingly rich area. Our route will take us across Braunsberg, past Hainburg Castle, and through parts of the Hundsheimer Berge.
As we walk, history appears naturally along the trail: remains of Celtic settlements (including reconstructed sections of a wooden palisade and watchtower), traces of Roman routes, the medieval town walls of Hainburg, and even landscapes that once formed part of the Cold War border.
**What makes this hike special**
🌄 Wide panoramic views over the **Danube**, the **Marchfeld plains**, and toward **Bratislava**
🏺 Traces of everyday life in ancient times, from Celtic earthworks to Roman routes
🏰 Atmospheric **medieval walls, gates, and castle ruins** in Hainburg an der Donau
🌍 A peaceful landscape that once marked a **Cold War border**, now open and welcoming
⛰️ **Arche Noah Half-Cave** – a small rock shelter typical of the karst landscape of Braunsberg
We will explore all of this at a **relaxed pace**, with time to enjoy the views, conversations, and quiet moments in nature.
**Meeting Point & Travel**
We will meet at **Wien-Praterstern station at 07:45am** near the ticket machines.
Please arrive a little early so we have enough time to organize the group tickets.
If you join the Einfach-raus-**group ticket**, please note:
* The ticket requires us to **travel together on both the outbound and return journey**
* If you would like more flexibility (for example leaving earlier or later), or if you arrive too late at the meeting point please **buy your own VOR Freizeit-ticket instead**
The train leaves 08:15am from Wien-Praterstern and we should arrive in Hainburg by 09:26am. Trains back to Vienna run every hour and we would aim for the train back to Vienna leaving Hainburg at 17:06.
**Hike Details**
Duration: approx. **6 hours** (pure walking time)
Distance: approx. **16.6 km**
Elevation: **750 m up / 749 m down**
Difficulty: **Technically easy**, but **basic fitness required**
More information about the trail: [https://www.bergwelten.com/t/w/9343](https://www.bergwelten.com/t/w/9343)
**Group Pace & Staying Togehter**
Friendly reminder: This is a social hike, not a speed competition.
We will walk at a comfortable group pace and take short breaks when needed.
If you prefer to walk much faster, this may not be the right hike for you.
Staying roughly together helps with navigation, safety, and group feeling. Thank you for helping create a friendly and supportive atmosphere for everyone.
**Practical notes**
I will send a weather update on Thursday evening to everyone who is registered.
Mid-March can feel like spring — or like winter returning for one last surprise.
**Please bring:**
* Sturdy hiking shoes
* Layered clothing
* At least 1 liter of water
* Your own snacks (no restaurant stop is planned)
Some sections might be muddy depending on the weather.
**Disclaimer**
As always, this is a free private leisure activity.
I am not a certified hiking guide, and participation is at your own responsibility and risk.
Looking forward to seeing you on the trail!
Jörg
**Information regarding the ticket options**
**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 who then have to travel together both directions at the meeting point at **07:45 - 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 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 to still join if you arrive too late for the group ticket. Information regarding this ticket: [https://www.vor.at/en/tickets/ticket-overview/leisure-ticket](https://www.vor.at/en/tickets/ticket-overview/leisure-ticket)

In the depth of the forest, we'll also pass the historic Trianon memorial site.
Price includes organization, train tickets and friendly host.

Run+B-fast

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!

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

Trails & Ales! Slate Run Metro Park / Loose Rail Brewing
**History**
[Slate Run Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/slate-run/), located south of Canal Winchester in Pickaway County, has roots tracing back to the early planning efforts of the Columbus and Franklin County Metropolitan Park District. In 1963, Metro Parks officials identified the land along Slate Run as having strong potential for a large metropolitan park due to its expansive acreage, diverse habitats, and natural features like the stream that gave the area its name. The largest stream in the vicinity, Slate Run, flows south to northwest through a ridge, providing a logical basis for the park's designation. Between 1964 and 1968, Metro Parks acquired approximately 1,662 acres through multiple parcels, including a key 212-acre farmstead that had been continuously operated since 1805. This acquisition phase positioned Slate Run as a future major addition to the system, following the openings of other parks like Sharon Woods in 1968 and Highbanks in 1973.
The park officially opened to the public in 1981, marking it as the sixth Metro Park in the district and, at the time, the largest with its substantial land holdings. From the outset, Metro Parks envisioned incorporating a living historical farm to educate visitors about 19th-century Ohio agriculture. The focal 212-acre parcel, purchased from the White family heirs in 1964, included historic structures that made it ideal for this purpose. The park's development preserved natural areas such as grasslands, wetlands, meadows, and forests while integrating interpretive elements. Upon opening, Slate Run quickly became a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
Central to the park's identity is the Slate Run Living Historical Farm, which interprets life on a typical Ohio farm in the 1880s. The gothic revival farmhouse on the site was constructed in 1856 by owner Isaac Fridley and later restored by Metro Parks for historical accuracy. Visitors can explore interiors like the living room, parlor, and kitchen, where interpreters demonstrate period activities. The multi-bay barn, built in 1881 by Samuel Oman (the fourth owner), was meticulously restored with help from Amish carpenters. Heirloom animals such as Percheron horses, pigs, geese, and turkeys inhabit the farm, enhancing the immersive experience.
The historical farmstead reflects a long lineage of ownership and agricultural use dating back to the early 19th century. Continuous farming on the land since 1805 made the site authentic for recreating late-19th-century practices, including grain harvesting and animal husbandry. Metro Parks focused on authenticity by restoring original buildings and introducing period-appropriate methods, such as horse-powered threshing machines from the late 1880s. The farm operates with volunteers and staff in period attire to portray daily rural life. This educational component has drawn school groups and families for decades.
Today, Slate Run Metro Park spans about 1,705 acres and attracts roughly 250,000 visitors annually for its blend of natural preservation and historical interpretation. The park maintains diverse habitats supporting wildlife like nesting sandhill cranes and reintroduced northern bobwhite quail. Trails and open spaces offer opportunities for hiking and observation amid the preserved landscapes. The Living Historical Farm remains a crown jewel, continuing to teach about Ohio's agricultural heritage. Ongoing programs and restorations ensure the site's relevance for future generations.
**Map of the Park**
Here is a [map of Slate Run](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/SLR-parkmap@2x.gif).
**Summary**
For this event, we will hike the Five Oaks, Sugar Maple, Covered Bridge, Shagbark, and Lake Trails. This will be around 4.5 to 5 miles. While Slate Run is moderately strenuous in a few places, it's generally a good place to hike and doesn't seem to wear people out. Some spots on the hike are unshaded, though, so be prepared for the possibility of some sun.
I find Slate Run to be very underappreciated for the quality of its hiking.
**Where We'll Meet**
We'll meet at the [Shady Grove Picnic Area](https://www.google.com/maps/place/39%C2%B045'30.1%22N+82%C2%B050'13.2%22W/@39.758347,-82.83701,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d39.758347!4d-82.83701?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDIxMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D). You can use the map pin I've provided here; it's accurate. There's a latrine at Shady Grove, but there is no running water (no water fountains). We will pass a water fountain when we get to the Buzzard's Roost Picnic Area, although I can't guarantee this fountain won't be off for the winter. I'd recommend bringing some water just in case, at least for after the hike.
I'd also recommend [hiking shoes](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D972KN3W) for this park.
**After the Hike**
Once we're finished at Slate Run, we'll head over to [Loose Rail Brewing](https://looserailbrewing.com/) for [drinks](https://looserailbrewing.com/canal-winchester-canal-winchester-loose-rail-brewing-drink-menu) and [food](https://looserailbrewing.com/canal-winchester-canal-winchester-loose-rail-brewing-food-menu). The brewery's actual address is [37 W Waterloo St, Canal Winchester, OH 43110](https://www.google.com/maps/place/37+W+Waterloo+St,+Canal+Winchester,+OH+43110/@39.8432511,-82.8071032,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x88387be3ac496d83:0x23e8ee9d9391dd6b!8m2!3d39.8432511!4d-82.8071032!16s%2Fg%2F11cp8n8x1j?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDIxMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D), and it's about 10-12 minutes from Slate Run. We should be there by 5 if you can't make the hike and just want to join us for drinks.
