Hello everyone! Next Saturday we're gonna do another very beautiful hike in Capellen: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/luxembourg/capellen/grosse-runde-bei-kehlen **Please pay attention**: This is a hike for people that can maintain an average speed of 6 km/h, so that we finish the 17.9 km in around 3 hours. So, please join me only if you know you can keep this pace! Other than that, it is an easy terrain with an elevation gain of 427 m. **Public Transportation**: We take bus 921 from Stareplatz-Etoile, Quai 3 (direction Merch) at 08:45 and we get off at Kehlen, Um Knapp. The bus is to arrive at Kehlen, Um Knapp at 09:04 and the starting point is only 7 minutes walking from there. **Carpooling**: For those coming by car and would like to offer some seat to fellow hikers, you can use this link to register your car: https://groupcarpool.com/t/9fnaeg **Contact**: My wapp number is +306985027222. If you don't use wapp, my phone number is +352621132389. **Disclaimer**: The hike is at your own risk. Please come prepared (hiking shoes, at least 1.5 litres of water, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses,...) And I repeat, please join this hike only if you can keep an average pace of 6 km/h :)

**Update:** If you find this event just now, everything below was posted when the online registration to the event "Kuckucklauf" on "Chiplauf.de" was still possible. The registration has closed end of Monday! You can still sign up for this MeetUp event, come for the hike, and enjoy the beverages and food at the town festival after. Please refer to the carpool section below, preferred meeting point is on Glacis for carpooling. In case you come directly, starting point is here: [Kastel-Staadt Parking](https://maps.app.goo.gl/jfw7GiBrjK5zaW5Y6) We will start once everyone has arrived, estimated between 9:15 and 9:30 **Original description:** Hello Friends! This time, we're going to do a modified "Traumschleife Kasteler Felsenpfad" trail in Germany. "Traumschleife" (Dream Loop) is a category of beautiful paths in Germany, Saar-Hunsrück area, some of them cross-border between Germany and Luxembourg 🥾🥾 The organization [Chiplauf](https://www.chiplauf.de/) promotes running events in the greater "BE-DE-LUX" region between Gerolstein, Hermeskeil, and Luxembourg. There are 19 events between June and November, most of which are purely for running, from a short 5km trail, or 1000m for toddlers, up to an ultra marathon of 111km. Each of the events offers different disciplines and distances. I haven't checked all of them, but besides the "Äischdall-Trail" in August (Eischen, Luxembourg), this one is the only one I've seen where hiking is also possible. A colleague of mine lives in Kastel-Staadt, the town that is hosting this "Kuckuckslauf" (cuckoo trail) for the first time. His family and friends are busy with printing, sowing, and other preparations. He told me about this, and I like the opportunity to do something abroad and to support this initiative. It seems to me a little bit like the FLMP hikes, where the umbrella organization is promoting it, and each local hiking club in the hosting town or villages is responsible for the details and the funding. **Details (please read carefully):** There is a fee of 15 Euro, for which you will get a small bag/sack with snacks, a start number, and drinks at a "pit stop" along the trail. The surplus of the event, which a local non-profit organization financially governs, will go to a charity. There will be refreshments along the trail, and at the end, there is a "Volksfest" with food, drinks, and games for kids. Food includes a "Schwenker", the regional traditional barbecue with steaks and sausages. While the path they have planned, deviating from the original "Traumschleife" a bit, is 10km, I have planned a short detour up to the "Altfels", a natural monument and supposedly a viewpoint. If it's too hot, we can skip that totally, or some of you can do a shortcut and wait 20-30 mins for the rest of the group at the next corner in the shade. You can sign up here: [Kuckuckslauf Registration](https://www.chiplauf.de/fr/events/1-kuckuckslauf-in-kastel-staadt/discipline) You can switch the language between German, English, and French, but they don't translate everything, make sure you sign up for the "10km Wanderung" ***At this point, the deadline is the 24th, but my colleague just told me that they plan to move it to the 22nd.*** I have signed up today and put "Yet Another Hiking Group in Luxembourg" as the club name. Let me know whether it now shows up in the drop-down list when you register. It would be cool to see our group name there multiple times, but the registration is voluntary (see "freeloader" section below) **Payment:** Payment is possible via bank transfer, credit card, Klarna, even a Belgian money app, sadly no Payconiq ;( If you have no credit card and don't want to bother with the payment, you can message me *"please register me"* and send me 15 EUR via PayPal or Payconiq. Paypal: [Paypal payment link](https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.paypal.com%2Fpool%2F9qdHwPrvIx%3Fsr%3Daccr&data=05%7C02%7Cjens.osterloh%40ses.com%7C8fdb1810e6074e33470b08decef27b53%7C88281ca8e5254a8db965480a7ac2b970%7C0%7C0%7C639175738014325246%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=92a7yAkNi0DyJrzX0G2YrIUIgQYLzZ1V898RVdPzWik%3D&reserved=0) Payconiq: [Payconiq payment link](https://payconiq.com/payme/1/md2vc5bo2mkb) I still encourage everyone to register himself, but if I can help, let me know. **Attention:** If you struggle with the online payment while actively trying yourself and going back and forth, you can end up in a situation where you have successfully registered without actually paying. They will still have your information, and your registration is "unpaid". In the confirmation e-mail, you will find the payment link and bank information. **Meeting Point:** This time we will do "full carpool" and I suggest that most of us meet on Glacis shortly after 8 am. Departure time around 8:20, after mixing the carpool and having at least 3-4 people per car. If you come from a completely different location and Luxembourg City would be a big detour, please use the carpool app and organize a local carpool. We will meet near the parking lot in Kasteel, you can park there or all along the road to the cemetery. Note: There will be lots of people, please plan at least 10 minutes for finding alternate parking and walking to the starting point: [Google-Maps: Parking Kastel-Staadt](https://maps.app.goo.gl/r4RpL4F3MRQoCwjLA) **Carpool:** I suggest that "the usual suspects" coming from the south are organizing a carpool from Bettembourg, e.g. meeting at [Parking Gare Bettembourg](https://maps.app.goo.gl/XGwS1WWuwUUVoaRz6) You can then take the highway and cross at Schengen/Perl. Main carpool will meet on the [Glacis](https://maps.app.goo.gl/MWhSdB1QAg7mmeX56), near "Hitch", like in the good old times. You can get there via bus or tram, or you can take your car and leave it there. (This was the pre-covid mode: 20 people came to Glacis with 16 cars, and we left 12 cars there, everyone got a seat, and we were maximum eco-friendly :) From the city, we will pass through Remich, and we can re-shuffle the carpool if too many people come alone in a car otherwise. Please look for or announce your departure at the [Remich free parking](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ouKRcqf8GxRMR9Uz5) https://groupcarpool.com/t/wev38a **Public Transport:** \*canceled\* **Freeloaders:** If you don't want to pay the registration fee, you can still attend the hike. Of course, you will not get the goodies, medal, or participation certificate, and you are not eligible for the refreshments at the pit stop. Unlike at the Diekirch walk, you will probably not get very much frowned upon, at least not by me. But since the surplus of the event will be for a charity, a small donation at the end will be very welcome! **Please note:** It's tick season. Be careful, use some repellent product, and check yourself after the hike. As usual, the hike is at your own risk, and please take enough water for yourself. Looking forward to hiking with you! Jens **PS: If the weather forecast is correct, it will be over 30 degrees for the next 10 days. Please bring LOTS of water for yourself!**

Outdoor calisthenics workouts are a fantastic way to build strength, improve fitness, and enjoy the great outdoors 😁🦾 Calisthenics is a form of strength training that uses the resistance of your body and gravity to help strengthen your muscles and improve your coordination, endurance, and mobility. It’s a workout that relies on body weight with little or no equipment. In fact, almost all common bodyweight exercises are considered calisthenics exercises. Some examples include: - airsquats - pushups - pullups - frogstand -handstand -musclup -backlever aso 😁 Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced athlete, calisthenics provides a holistic approach to fitness. 🏋️‍♂️💪

Move, Breathe, Align 🌿 Let’s start the weekend feeling grounded, energized, and connected. We’ll meet at 07:45 at Bus stop Lavals Park Quai 2 (next to Veloh station)[location](https://maps.app.goo.gl/qbsrdFP1BUekFoJ56?g_st=ic) , then walk together to a nearby park spot where we’ll practice a gentle mix of movement, yoga, stretching, balance, and breathing. The session will combine both active and relaxing elements — a balance of strength and softness, movement and stillness. No experience is needed. Just bring comfortable clothes, water, and a yoga mat. The intention is simple: to wake up the body, calm the mind, and begin the weekend feeling more present, balanced, and alive. 📍 Meeting point: Bus stop Lavals Park Quai 2 (next to Veloh station) 🕢 Meet at 07:45 🧘 Practice: 08:00–09:00 After the session, everyone is free to continue with their day. 💬 WhatsApp group for updates + community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/FXXDRxOGXXtKGnMErWo48M Sessions are guided by a certified yoga teacher with a background in movement, mindfulness, and personal development.
