The last bike tour for 2025, take the opportunity and finish strong with a new personal record! We will meet up north of the danube right next to the bike rentral "Fahrradverleih Copa Beach". From there, we follow the Danube Cycle Path (Donauradweg) heading upstream along the northern bank of the Danube River. This well-maintained path offers us scenic views of the river and the surrounding nature. We pass through a charming smalller town or two and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the riverside. Continuing along the path, we eventually reach the Greifenstein power plant, a notable landmark along the Danube. Halfway through we'll take a short 5-10 minute break. For our return trip, we cross the river at the Greifenstein power plant using the bridge or designated crossing point. Once on the southern bank, we follow the Danube Cycle Path downstream. This route provides us with a different perspective of the river and takes us through lush landscapes and picturesque areas. We continue along the path until we arrive back at Copabeach. **Distance:** 45 km **Elevation gain:** 100 m **Max altitude:** 182 m **Average speed:** 23-25 km/h (if we don't have significant headwind). This bike tour is not for everyone. Please only participate if you feel fit enough for this average speed. If you're too slow, we'll wait once or twice, but sooner or later you'll be left behind if you can't keep up. **Note:** The route is almost 100% asphalted. A road bike is recommended. **Course:** https://www.bergfex.at/mybergfex/activities/activity/18c49e9b1834f14bbb8f022bed6eac34/ Don't forget your helmet and something to drink/snack.

Hi everyone 👋 A bit short notice, but maybe just right for a fresh start: **Tomorrow, January 1st, 2026**, I’m planning a relaxed New Year’s walk along the **Mühlwasser**. Perfect for getting off the holiday couch, collecting a few easy steps for your New Year’s resolutions — and with a bit of luck, catching some winter sunshine 🌤️ **Meeting point:** 📍 **U2 station Stadtlau**, ground floor, opposite the pharmacy (Exit **Kaisermühlenstraße)** 🕐 **1:00 p.m.** From there, we’ll start the **Mühlwasserrunde**, an easy and scenic loop through the Lobau: calm (and cold) Danube side arms, forests and wide open paths — quiet, flat and ideal for a gentle start into the year. **Route details:** * Duration: approx. **3 hours** * Distance: approx. **10 km** * Elevation gain: minimal (mostly flat) * Difficulty: **easy** [https://www.bergfex.at/sommer/niederoesterreich/touren/wanderung/589258,muehlwasserrunde/](https://www.bergfex.at/sommer/niederoesterreich/touren/wanderung/589258,muehlwasserrunde/) We’ll walk at a comfortable, social pace and take short breaks as needed. There are no huts or restaurants along the way, so please bring your own snacks and drinks (at least **1 liter of water**). It will be cold, so dress warmly and wear sturdy winter-appropriate shoes. Some sections may be muddy or slightly icy, depending on the weather — nothing dramatic. Some people from my other group will also join. 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 starting the new year outdoors together 🙂 **Jörg** 🥾❄️

Any misbehavior on your part, such as responding in an obscene way, fighting, or leaving the pitch is not a practical and diplomatic way of resolving the issues (it tends to create more tension and cause more problems).

As taken from their website, AT Ohio's mission is to help Ohioans with disabilities learn about or acquire assistive technology. Assistive Technology refers to devices, equipment or services that assist individuals with disabilities to function independently in the areas of work, home or school. AT Ohio is NOT a grants-giving or funding organization. They do not assist in financing the purchase of any assistive technology. If you need funding for a device, they might be able to direct you to resources that may provide funding, but they do not fund devices. Target audience for this group is persons who are visually impaired, especially those who have experienced recent loss, however, all are welcome, including family members and supports. Light refreshments will be served. You can also join the meeting by Conference Call at (518) 263-8851.
