It's set for Grillplatz 8 at Donauinsel for now\. If it's taken already\, we'll be somewhere in that area\.

Hi everyone, On Sunday, June 28, 2026, I'm planning a scenic hike from Greifenstein to Redlingerhütte and back through the beautiful northern Wienerwald. This hike combines forest trails, panoramic viewpoints above the Danube, and a relaxed social atmosphere with plenty of time for conversation, short breaks, and enjoying nature together. For anyone who would like to extend the day, there will be the optional opportunity after the hike to relax at the nearby Danube backwater (Donaualtarm), with a picnic and a swim. **Hike Details** **Distance:** approximately 12 km **Elevation gain:** approximately 450 m **Walking time:** around 4 hours **Difficulty:** easy to moderate **Required fitness:** suitable for anyone comfortable walking for several hours on forest trails and paths Route information: [https://www.bahn-zum-berg.at/wienerwald/von-greifenstein-zur-redlinger-huette/](https://www.bahn-zum-berg.at/wienerwald/von-greifenstein-zur-redlinger-huette/) ### Optional After-Hike Picnic & Swim After returning to Greifenstein, anyone who still feels energetic is welcome to join for an informal picnic and a swim at the nearby Danube backwater (Donaualtarm). If you would like to stay, please bring your own snacks, drinks, picnic blanket, and swimming gear. This is a completely optional part of the day and a nice opportunity to relax by the water after the hike. There is also a local restaurant near the Danube where snacks and drinks can be purchased. **Metting Point & Travel** **Meeting time:** 08:20 in front of Bahnhof Heiligenstadt, exit 12.-Februar-Platz. **Please buy your own ticket before boarding the train** and arrive on time. We will take the **S40 at 08:42** from Bahnhof Heiligenstadt to **Greifenstein-Altenberg/Donau**. The train ticket costs approximately **€2.90 per direction**. **What to bring** • Sturdy hiking shoes with good grip • Weather-appropriate clothing • 1.5–2 litres of water • Snacks and/or lunch • Sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen) • Swimming gear and towel (optional) **What to expect** We will walk together at a relaxed and social pace and stay as a group throughout the day. This is not a race or a performance hike. As long as you have the basic fitness required for this route, the focus is on enjoying nature, good conversations, and spending time outdoors with fellow hikers. We will take regular short breaks whenever useful. We do not plan to stop at huts or restaurants during the hike itself, so please bring your own food and enough water for the day. Weather conditions can change quickly, so basic rain protection is recommended. Please wear proper hiking shoes and bring adequate sun protection, especially if warm and sunny weather is forecast. Toilet facilities are available on the train and in Greifenstein-Altenberg/Donau before and after the hike. **Important note** ⚠️**Disclaimer:** As always, this is a free, private leisure activity. I am not a certified hiking guide, and participation is entirely at your own responsibility and risk. I will send a weather update on Friday evening to everyone who has registered. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Looking forward to sharing this hike with you! Jörg

8,4 km with gentle ascents and descents (+345/-343 m). Suitable for almost everyone. We start in Hönflein an der Donau and finish in Greifenstein. You can join from Budapest, Vienna or from the start of the route. Mindfulness is the ability to be present in the moment and experience life more fully. It makes life richer, brighter, and filled with simple pleasures. In everyday life, we constantly switch between our phones, work, and thoughts about the future. On this hike, we'll try spending the day differently: without phones, without rushing, and without unnecessary noise. We'll pay more attention to the nature around us, our own feelings, and simply give our minds a chance to rest. There will be mindfulness exercises, periods of silence, time for reflection, and, for those who wish, meditation. Phones stay in our backpacks and won't come out until the end of the hike. If you'd like photos, I'll take them for you and send them afterward. **Price:** 60 euro. Please take lunch with you. Prepayment is required (Revolut, Wise, bank transfer, cash). Please contact me personally: Facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/leonid.syrovyatkin](https://www.facebook.com/leonid.syrovyatkin) Whatsapp: [https://wa.me/36305183643](https://wa.me/36305183643) Telegram: https://t.me/Rudra_AM

The only Metro Park with a fire tower! **History** [Scioto Grove Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/scioto-grove/) officially became the 19th park in the Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks system when it opened to the public on May 6, 2016. Located along a scenic bend of the Scioto River in Grove City, just south of Columbus, the 620-acre park was designed to blend preservation with modern recreation. Long before it became a park, this river corridor served as a vital footpath and trade route for Indigenous communities. Decades later, the mature forests and dramatic river bluffs caught the eye of conservationists looking to expand regional green spaces. The grand opening was a major milestone, drawing over 19,000 visitors in its very first weekend. The creation of the park was made possible through a sequence of land acquisitions and strong community partnerships. In October 2009, Franklin County voters approved a critical property tax levy that funded the initial purchase of 66 acres. Shortly after, the City of Grove City generously donated nearly 193 acres of land, previously known as Talbot Park, to anchor the project. Additional parcels were acquired using state grants from the Clean Ohio Conservation Fund, successfully closing the gap between properties by December 2012. This collaborative funding model ensured that pristine wilderness areas remained completely protected from commercial development. From its inception, the park aimed to introduce innovative amenities to the regional park system, most notably the concept of "urban backpacking". Through a key partnership with the outdoor gear retailer REI Co-op, the park established the scenic REI River Trail. This trail features five rustic, reservation-only campsites along the river, specifically designed to give newcomers a safe place to practice backpacking close to home. Additionally, planners prioritized making the park fully pet-friendly, allowing leashed dogs across all trails and areas. This open-pet policy uniquely distinguished Scioto Grove from many other traditional Columbus Metro Parks. As the park grew in popularity, community members established special commemorative landmarks to honor local lives. In June 2019, a dedicated memorial garden was unveiled near the park entrance in memory of Reagan Tokes, an Ohio State University student. The serene space features a central pond bordered by bright blue flowers, representing her favorite color. A primary buckeye tree stands alongside a dedicated plaque, surrounded by four additional buckeye trees to represent her immediate family members. This addition transformed a portion of the park into a meaningful place for community reflection, healing, and peace. The historical depth of the park took a significant leap forward with the relocation of a massive piece of Ohio history. In August 2023, Metro Parks officially unveiled the Keystone Forest Lookout Tower, which had been carefully moved from Jackson County, Ohio. Originally constructed in 1942 by the Aermotor Windmill Company, the 82-foot-tall metal structure spent decades guarding southern Ohio’s vast forests from devastating wildfires. Workers painstakingly disassembled, re-galvanized, and reassembled the historic landmark at Scioto Grove. Today, visitors can climb its 111 steep steps to experience a panoramic view stretching all the way to the downtown Columbus skyline. **Map of the Park** Here is a [map of Scioto Grove](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/SGR-map_1980px_2026.jpg). **Summary** We will hike around 5 miles on the Overlook, REI River, Mingo, and Arrowhead Trails. While the configuration of the trails can lead us to occasionally taking longer hikes than at other parks, Scioto Grove is not generally a very strenuous place to hike. If you use hiking poles and inadvertently forget them, this is not a park where you're likely to end up caring that much. That said, Scioto Grove is one of the better Metro Parks for hiking as well as other things. They are the only Metro Park with five camping areas where you can literally pitch a tent and sleep for the night. You must contact the park and reserve these in advance; they are however free. **Where We'll Meet** We'll meet at the Arrowhead Picnic Area, near the restrooms and playground. Arrowhead is the main picnic and parking area of the park, and it also has the only water fountain at Scioto Grove. **After the Hike** Afterward, we will head over to [Grove City Brewing](https://www.grovecitybrewery.com/) for [drinks and food](https://www.grovecitybrewery.com/menu). They have pretty good hamburgers. I was mortified to discover that I've never had their [Grove City Hooyah](https://www.beermenus.com/beers/486553-grove-city-hooyah) before, but I will correct that during this event. The actual address of the brewery is [3946 Broadway, Grove City, OH 43123](https://www.google.com/maps/place/3946+Broadway,+Grove+City,+OH+43123/@39.8836912,-83.0919635,16z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x88389b3a28d0f4ad:0x3d85c41f608406c6!8m2!3d39.8836912!4d-83.0919635!16s%2Fg%2F11g8dh6h1_?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTAwOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D). We should be there by 5 if you can't make the hike and just want to join us for drinks.
