For those who don’t want to register — I’ll post a discount code in the WA grup on Monday. • The discount does NOT apply to skate rental. • Buy your ticket online in advance — otherwise you’ll have to stand in two separate queues (ticket + rental). ⏰ **Timing:** • If you need to rent skates, please come 30 minutes earlier (at 5:30 pm) — the rental line is usually 30–40 minutes. • We will meet at the entrance to the ice rink at 6:00 pm and start skating right away. • Anyone who doesn’t want to skate can join later for drinks and socializing. Don’t worry if you’re a beginner — skating is something you learn quickly, especially in good company 😊 I’m planning to go skating every Monday as long as the weather isn’t too warm.

Hi everyone! On **Saturday, February 14, 2026**, I’m planning a beautiful winter hike across the green hills of Vienna — from **Nussdorf to Hütteldorf**, right through the heart of the Wienerwald. This hike combines forest paths, gentle ridgelines, and some of the best panoramic views over Vienna. It’s a great opportunity to enjoy nature, fresh winter air, and relaxed conversation while crossing the city from north to west on foot. You **do not have to walk the whole route**. This hike is perfect if you want to join **only for part of the way**: * 🚉 **Kahlenberg** – easy exit with public transport back into the city * 🚉 **Neuwaldegg** – another convenient exit point with tram connections (approx. 11km hike, 3-4hrs and 350m altitude) You can decide **during the hike** how far you’d like to go. Walking all the way to Hütteldorf is optional and only recommended if you feel fit and motivated on the day. **What makes this hike special** * 🌆 Beautiful views over Vienna from **Leopoldsberg** and **Kahlenberg** * 🌲 Peaceful forest paths through the **Wienerwald** * 📍 Passing classic local peaks like **Herrmannskogel** and **Dreimarkstein** * 🚉 Very flexible route: you can join for part of the hike and exit earlier if needed * 💬 A social hike with time for conversation and short breaks You’re welcome to walk **as long or as short as you like**. The most convenient exit points with public transport are **Kahlenberg** and **Neuwaldegg**, so this hike is ideal if you want to test your pace or fitness level in a friendly group setting. **Meeting Point** 📍 **Bahnhof Wien Nussdorf** 🕘 **09:00 a.m.** (in front of the station) **Hike Details** * ⏱ **Duration:** approx. **6.5 hours** (pure walking time to Hütteldorf) * 📏 **Distance:** up to **24 km** (if walking the full route) * ⛰ **Elevation:** approx. **892 m ascent** * 🟢 **Difficulty:** Easy (technically) * Walking the full route to Hütteldorf requires **good basic fitness** * Shorter options are possible * 🚶 **Pace:** Comfortable and social, with regular short breaks More information on the trail: [https://www.bergfex.at/sommer/niederoesterreich/touren/wanderung/2290740,nussdorf--vogelsangberg--hermannskogel--huetteldorf/](https://www.bergfex.at/sommer/niederoesterreich/touren/wanderung/2290740,nussdorf--vogelsangberg--hermannskogel--huetteldorf/) **Group Pace & Staying Together** **Fun (but serious) group disclaimer:** If you sprint ahead and disappear, I will assume you’ve chosen a new life among wild boars, dog walkers, and people power-walking in jeans. Running ahead voids all group benefits, including navigation, moral support, **access to snacks**, and protection from aggressive squirrels. By running ahead, you explicitly accept these terms and conditions. **Practical Notes** I’ll send a **weather update on Thursday evening** to everyone who’s registered. It will almost certainly be **cold and possibly frosty**, so please be prepared. * 🧤 Dress warmly in layers * 🥾 Wear sturdy, winter-appropriate hiking shoes * 💧 Bring your own snacks and drinks (at least **1 liter of water**), there will be no hut or restaurant stop along the route * Some sections may be **muddy or slightly icy**, depending on the weather **Disclaimer** As always, this is a **free, private leisure activity**. I’m not a certified hiking guide, and participation is at your own responsibility and risk. Looking forward to seeing you for this winter walk across Vienna ❄️🌲 Jörg

15 million years ago, the iconic Sandberg right over the Slovak border formed the coastline of the late tertiary sea. Today, shark teeth, turtle shells and other relics can still be found scattered in its dunes. Appreciating this prehistoric significance (and far-reaching view into the Austrian *Marchfeld*) we slowly follow our trail up the slopes. Standing tall at 514m, the *Devínska Kobyla* peak generously rewards us with a jaw-dropping panorama over three (some say even four) countries. Walking downhill through a decommissioned Soviet-era missile base, we soon re-enter pristine forest surroundings in search for the mystical White Rock - and eventually visit the remains of Villa Rustica, an ancient Roman spa presiding over the *Veľká lúka plains*. Net hiking time will be \~3 hours. Our hike wraps up with a well-deserved group dinner inside the nearby Bory Mall food court with plenty of Slovak/international delicacies at your own taste and budget. Total time: \~7 hours Language: English Price includes organization, train tickets and friendly host. Discounts available for early birds, repeat participants and groups. Local bus tickets included too. Food and drinks are at your own expense. To secure your spots, please ... Step 1: RSVP here on Meetup first (optional but recommended) Step 2: Complete your booking at https://vienna.ixpat.com/sandberg

After a quick train & bus ride from Vienna Main Station (Wien Hauptbahnhof), this easy hike starts at a quaint village known for its harbor and laid-back taverns. Slowly pacing upwards next to a small creek, our group eventually arrives at Kahlenberg's mountain top with what's probably the most captivating scenic spot of entire Vienna. Descending along gentle slopes flanked by lush vineyards, we'll end up at the fringes of Grinzing district for our return commute. To secure your spots, please ...

Dale Gnidovec, Curator of the Orton Hall Museum of Geology at The Ohio State University, will be presenting a program he has wanted to share with us for a long time: Plate Tectonics. His description of his program: Continents on the move - Nothing in Earth history makes sense without moving continents - it tells us why mountains, volcanoes, minerals, and fossils are where they are. This talk examines the evidence for continental drift, why it was disbelieved, and explains how the more-encompassing theory of plate tectonics was developed and eventually proven. Dale is an energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and very entertaining speaker and this will be another wonderful program by Dale. Hope to see you there! Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.
