Nature

Hi everyone! On **Saturday, May 02, 2026**, I’m planning a beautiful loop hike around the **Perchtoldsdorfer Heide**, one of the most scenic nature areas on the southern edge of Vienna. This route takes us through a protected **nature reserve** with open landscapes, gentle hills, and wide views towards Vienna and the Wienerwald. In spring, the area is especially pleasant, with fresh greenery and a peaceful atmosphere. It’s a varied hike combining forest paths, meadows, and panoramic viewpoints. **Highlights** * 🌿 **Walking through the beautiful Perchtoldsdorfer Heide Nature Reserve** * 🌄 **Panoramic views over Vienna and the Wienerwald** 📍**Meeting Point** **Rodaun – Tram 60 Terminus** **09:00 a.m.** Please arrive a few minutes early so we can start calmly together. **Hike Details** **Duration:** approx. **5.5 hours** (pure walking time) **Distance:** approx. **15 km** (depending on small variations) **Elevation:** approx. **500 m ascent** **Difficulty:** Easy (technically), requires basic fitness **Pace:** Comfortable and social, with regular short breaks This hike is ideal if you would like a **moderate workout** without technical difficulty. The trails are well marked and mostly easy, but you should feel comfortable walking for several hours. More information about the route: [https://www.wienerwald.info/touren/rundwanderung-um-die-perchtoldsdorfer-heide](https://www.wienerwald.info/touren/rundwanderung-um-die-perchtoldsdorfer-heide) **What to Bring** 🥪 Snacks and drinks (at least 1.5 liters of water) 🥾 Sturdy hiking shoes 🌧️ Basic rain protection 🧢 Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses) Please note: There are no public toilets on the trail itself. **Disclaimer** This is a free, private leisure activity. I am not a certified hiking guide. Please join only if you feel comfortable with the distance and conditions. Everyone participates at their own responsibility. I will send a weather update to everyone registered on Thursday evening. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Looking forward to a beautiful spring day together! Jörg

In collaboration with ClayConnects, this special session brings together the joy of ceramics with the spirit of connection — guided, hands-on, and open to everyone, whether you’re a complete beginner or just looking to unwind. This isn’t just a workshop — it’s a space to relax, explore, and meet people from different cultures and walks of life 🤍 Shape your ideas into clay while sharing stories, laughter, and meaningful conversations. At CultureBite, we believe the best moments happen when art, food, and people come together. So while your creations take form, we’ll gather around a shared table — because no CultureBite event is complete without food! 🍲 👉 Bring along a small snack or a dish from your culture to share — let’s turn this into a creative + culinary exchange. 📍 Location: Einsiedlerplatz 7, 1050 Wien 🗓 Date: Saturday, 02 May ⏰ Time: 11:00 – 14:30 💸 Cost: 15€ per person 📞 Need help finding us? +43 680 1733578 / +43 681 81399543 Come for the clay, stay for the people.

Join us for an exhibition visit to **mumok** to experience *Tobias Pils: Shh*—a body of work that sits somewhere between abstract and familiar, where shapes, figures, and fragments blur into each other. Pils’ paintings don’t try to explain themselves. They move between themes like becoming and fading, presence and absence—almost like each image is part of an ongoing process rather than a finished statement. This isn’t about understanding every piece. We’ll walk through the exhibition together, and afterward break into small groups to share what stood out to us—the one painting you kept coming back to, the one that made no sense but stayed with you, or the one you didn’t expect to feel anything about. No pressure to analyze everything. Just bring your perspective. After the exhibition, we’ll head to a nearby café to continue the conversations in a more relaxed setting. Museum ticket is **not included** in this meetup This event is **not affiliated** with the museum Come as you are—curious, confused, or somewhere in between.

Join us for **three hours** of badminton! This event is open for all levels and ages! It is part of the club Sportunion Vienna Badminton Community. We are playing at USZ Hietzing (Altgasse 6, 1130, close to the U4 station Hietzing). The hall (Große Halle) is on the second floor. The changing room is on the first floor in the long corridor. Please bring a racket, sports clothes and shoes and a water bottle. We provide feather shuttles. You can also likely borrow a racket from one of our players if you need to.

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

Be inspired like Beethoven, who roamed these hills in 1814. After gathering at Vienna Main Station (Wien Hauptbahnhof) we'll catch a 20-minute train to a quaint municipality just outside Vienna.

There, we start our proper hike up and around this picturesque mountain with its token 12th-century castle, which also starred in Stephen Herek's "The Three Musketeers". Expect a lush pine forest, magnificent views and impressive medieval architecture. But that's not all. Underway we'll also take a detour to the nearby Seegrotte, Europe's largest underwater lake.

Join me for a small, mindful photography walk in nature. (**NOTE Time is 9:00 AM EST(Meetup is having technical Issue))** This is a slow, intentional gathering — not focused on fitness or perfect photography — but on simply pausing, observing, and being present. We’ll walk at a gentle pace, with moments of quiet, and a few light prompts to help you notice details you might normally miss. 📷 You don’t need any photography experience — a phone camera is enough. This is also not a business networking event. It’s a calm space to connect with nature and, if it feels natural, with like-minded people. 🌿 What to expect: • A slow-paced, relaxed walk • Moments of silence and observation • Simple reflection prompts 📍 Location: [ Red Trabue Nature Preserve] ⏱ Duration: \~60 minutes This is a small, initial gathering as I begin creating this space through WellGratiVibes — a blend of mindfulness, nature, and quiet connection. If this resonates with you, you’re welcome to join.
