Lazy Hike: Coffee → Cable Car → Medvednica Walk & Lunch
Let’s take a little Sunday escape from the city and enjoy some fresh mountain air together.
If the weather cooperates, we’ll organise a relaxed **open-air meetup on Sljeme**, combining coffee, a cable-car ride, a gentle walk through the forest, and lunch at a mountain lodge.
This is a **very easy hike**, suitable for almost everyone, the walk is mostly flat with only a few small uphill or downhill sections.
***
## ☕ Step 1 – Coffee Meetup
We start the day with a relaxed coffee gathering:
📍 **[Dr. Who Café](https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/2087441298235509/caffe-bar-drwho/)**
🕚 **11:00 – 12:00**
If you prefer to skip coffee, you can simply join us at the cable car.
***
## 🚡 Step 2 – Cable Car Ride
📍 **[Sljeme Cable Car](https://www.zicarasljeme.hr/) Base Station**
🕧 **12:30**
From there we’ll take the cable car up the mountain and **exit at the Brestovac station** (the penultimate stop).
***
## 🥾 Step 3 – Easy Walk
From Brestovac we’ll walk **less than one hour** to the mountain lodge **Runolist**.
The path is scenic and mostly flat, making it perfect for conversation and enjoying nature.
***
## 🍲 Step 4 – Lunch at Runolist Lodge
[Runolist](https://runolistsljeme.com/) has a small cantina where we can have lunch together.
Typical meals cost roughly **10–20€**.
After lunch we’ll walk back the same way and return to the city.
Expected arrival back in Zagreb: **around 17:00 (5pm)**.
***
## 💳 Cable Car Tickets
🚡 **Free** for Zagreb residents with an ID showing Zagreb domicile
🚡 About **10€ return** for others
***
## 🌦️ Weather Note
This meetup is **weather dependent**.
If the weather turns bad, we will simply keep the **coffee meetup at Dr. Who** and skip the mountain trip.
Please **check the [WhatsApp group](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/faq/sfiz-whatsapp-guide-keeping-it-fun-and-respectful) on Sunday morning** for the final confirmation.

## 🌿 What to Expect
• relaxed pace
• friendly international crowd
• fresh air and forest views
• casual conversations
• optional lunch together
No hiking experience required, just good shoes and a good mood.

Algorithmic Trading & Crypto
## (Lesson 2)
## What to expect
Project Equilibrium is an in-person introduction to disciplined, rule-based trading automation. This first event is designed to be clear, practical, and approachable no hype, no pressure, and no prior technical background required.
### Why we meet (two-session structure)
This meetup is structured as **two lessons**:
**Lesson 1 — The “Why” (mindset + framework)**
* What Project Equilibrium is (and what it is not)
* Why we focus on process, rules, and execution discipline
* What “24/7 execution” means in practice
* Q&A and open discussion
**Lesson 2 — The “How” (step-by-step setup)**
* A simple walkthrough of the basic tools you need
* Step-by-step guidance to install and prepare the required exchange apps/accounts
* A clear checklist to be ready for future sessions
(You won’t be left alone—everything is explained calmly and in order.)
### What to bring
To make the second lesson smooth, please bring:
* **A smartphone** (for authentication and exchange app setup)
* **A laptop** (for the setup steps and configuration)
If you only have one device, you can still join Lesson 1. The setup lesson is simply easier with both.
### Who this is for
* People curious about algorithmic execution and portfolio discipline
* Beginners who want a structured approach
* Experienced traders who want more consistency and less stress
### Agenda
* Welcome + introductions
* Lesson focus of the day (Why / How)
* Guided walkthrough (where applicable)
* Q&A + next steps
### How to find the group
* Arrive a few minutes early and look for the **Project Equilibrium** group.
* I will be there to welcome attendees if you’re unsure, simply ask the venue staff for the Meetup group name.

Brunchapalooza
Get ready for a backyard brunch that feels like summer, smells like heaven, and sounds like a whole vibe.
We’re turning the backyard into the ultimate brunch playground with music flowing, drinks pouring, and plenty of food. This is the laugh loud, grab seconds, refill your cup kind of brunch.
On the menu, we’re going all in. Fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, juicy sausage, golden pancakes and waffles hot off the griddle. Fresh bakes like warm cinnamon rolls and sweet coffee cakes that hit just right. And that’s just the start.
We’ll have cocktails mixed and ready, juices chilled, sodas on ice, and plenty more to keep the energy up. Think mimosas, good conversation, music in the background, and that perfect mix of sunshine and shade.
It’s about warm vibes, real connections, and food that makes you close your eyes on the first bite.
Pull up hungry, bring your best stories, and get ready for a brunch that turns into a whole experience.
