Welcome to the first meeting of the 20th Century World Literature Book Club Zurich! For our first book, we’ll be reading *Chronicle of a Death Foretold*, a short, gripping, and beautifully written novel by Colombian author and Nobel Prize winner Gabriel García Márquez. First published in 1981, it tells the story of a killing that everyone knows is coming, yet somehow no one stops. We’ll meet in English for a friendly, open discussion. No academic background is needed — just read the book, bring your thoughts, and join the conversation. This first book has been chosen by the organizer to get the club started. After our book club is actively underway, future reads will be selected through member nominations and voting. Looking forward to meeting fellow readers and kicking things off together in April!

The tour follows the nature trail ‘Zwischen Bergen und See’ featured on the official Ticino website. -> [Der Lehrpfad zwischen Bergen und See](https://www.ticino.ch/de/hike/details/Der-Lehrpfad-zwischen-Bergen-und-See/22874002.html) We will be covering most of stages 1 and 2, from Dirinella to Magadino. The tour itself does not take us to the highest peaks, but is a route that could also be called “Spring in Ticino”, and I expect stunning blossoms, nature in full bloom and the Mediterranean setting of Ticino. A pleasure tour and a short holiday for the heart and the senses. Komoot Link: [Nature trail “Zwischen Bergen und See”](https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/2705965632) **Key data** Length: 15,9 km Ascent: 680 m Descent: 680 m Duration without breaks: approx. 5:15 hours Technical difficulty: A challenging hike. A high level of fitness is required. The paths are generally easy to walk on. Sure-footedness is required. - We might encounter two short T2 sections, but otherwise it should be fairly straightforward. **Arrival and departure** Meeting point: 7:50 Zürich HB under the blue angel 8:05 Departure from Zürich with the IR46 towards Locarno 8:49 Departure from Arth-Goldau with the IC21 towards Lugano 9:49 Departure from Bellinzona with the S20 towards Locarno 10:06 Departure from Cadenazzo, Stazione with the B350 towards Dirinella 10:38 Start of hike Dirinella Return journey expected between 17:30 to 20:00 from Ticino, see Information in “Breaks” **Breaks** A short break is planned approximately every hour. After two/three hours, there will be a slightly longer break for lunch. About an hour after midday, we’ll might have the chance to enjoy a coffee or a drink of our choice at San Nazarro. The Tour itself will approximately finish at 17:30 in Magadino-Vira. On the way home, we’re planning to stop off in Bellinzona afterwards and have a pizza for dinner together. However, this is just an idea for now, and everyone can decide for themselves whether they’d like to join in or not. Please bring enough food for lunch, and in case dinner doesn’t work out, I’d recommend packing an extra sandwich. **Disclaimer** **Important Notice** This is **NOT a guided tour**, but an informal meetup of individuals acting on their own responsibility.
