Hare (someone to set the route) is Stogie Gibberish co-hared by the fantastic Dr. NOB. I ain't a smart feller. But maybe if I spend some time around smart folk it'll rub off. So, we'll be runnin' around UZH in hopes that by the end of night I won't be dumb no more. Might work for ya'll too. Come join us! **Where**: UZH Irchel, Mobility, Parkhaus Irchel, Floor D, Winterthurerstrasse 190, 8057, Zürich. Look for English speakers wearing running gear. **When:** We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 pm. There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers all you can drink beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards. **All Welcome:** If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know: • We are a social running/walking group, physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour is useful. • The aim is to find the '*Beer Stop*' at the end of the '*trail*' and have fun. • 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running), and some over-achieving fast runners will go further. • The '*Hare*', which changes each event (along with location), cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time. • There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change. • **After Trail**, we group for \~20-40 minutes for drinks, snacks, and some fun. This '*Circle*' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark). If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We occasionally all go to a restaurant afterwards. **Why bother leaving your warm & dry sofa?** If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing. Exercise is important, and this is probably the least boring way to get it. 'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (*Hashes*) in most major cities. Its humor and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - **or you can just come along and find out.** *See you there.* We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.

A via ferrata is a protected, fixed-cable climbing route that allows people to traverse steep or difficult rocky terrain safely. These routes incorporate steel cables, rungs, ladders, and bridges, which serve as both climbing aids and continuous anchors for a special via ferrata safety set to clip into, blending the experience of hiking and rock climbing. We plan to do the Via Ferrata Mürren, a K3 ideal for beginners. This via ferrata features one short section (15m in length) of extreme exposure, where you are attached to a cliff face roughly 600 meters (2000 feet) off of the ground. This can be challenging, even if you do not have a fear of heights. Weather can cancel the event a few days before if weather is not perfect for execution! * https://www.meteoschweiz.admin.ch/lokalprognose/muerren/3825.html#forecast-tab=detail-view **You MUST sign the waiver form, it contains detailed information about the difficulty and more** -> [https://forms.gle/xdez1iqqfzZy9Myv7](https://forms.gle/xdez1iqqfzZy9Myv7) You can read the Beginner QuickStart guide: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/19oks3FaopmkEDDOAUF163Lo_qWMmBgFS0Ht5TqTf0YA/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/document/d/19oks3FaopmkEDDOAUF163Lo_qWMmBgFS0Ht5TqTf0YA/edit?usp=sharing) You can use your car or travel with the organiser Cédric Walter from Zürich HB, meeting up below the Blue Engel at 5:45 sharp The recommended train is the 6:02 Platform 10 https://a.sbbmobile.ch/s/FTVOE29 **Costs:** You'll have to pay for: * Transport by train to Mürren BLM or you organise your own transportation (ask in WhatsApp if done go by car) * The cable car after the via ferrata or a 1h30 walk on road up for free **Renting Equipment (+30 CHF)** * The via ferrata set (incl. helmet and harness) can be reserved in advance at intersport (50m from start of via ferrata) * You are responsible to organise your own rental, [https://intersport-muerren.ch/bikes-via-ferrata/?lang=en](https://intersport-muerren.ch/bikes-via-ferrata/?lang=en) call them and reserve a few days before: info@intersport-muerren.ch INSPORT: +41 33 855 21 88 **Links** [https://muerren.swiss/de/destination/ueber-muerren/klettersteig.html](https://muerren.swiss/de/destination/ueber-muerren/klettersteig.html) [https://outdoor.ch/en/outdoor-activities/via-ferrata-muerren/](https://outdoor.ch/en/outdoor-activities/via-ferrata-muerren/) [https://www.sac-cas.ch/de/huetten-und-touren/sac-tourenportal/muerrenbachfall-8215/klettersteig/klettersteig-muerren-1846/](https://www.sac-cas.ch/de/huetten-und-touren/sac-tourenportal/muerrenbachfall-8215/klettersteig/klettersteig-muerren-1846/) [https://lauterbrunnen.swiss/de/entdecken/erlebnisse/klettersteig-muerren-gimmelwald.html](https://lauterbrunnen.swiss/de/entdecken/erlebnisse/klettersteig-muerren-gimmelwald.html)

**A creative walk & talk for designers and creatives** Join us for a half-day walk and talk along the scenic Uetliberg ridge, designed to connect outside the usual networking format. No presentations. No panels. Just great people, ideas, and a shared path. We start at Triemli Station and hike up through the forest to Uto Staffel (about 1.5 hours), guided by [Mario Stipetic](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariostipetic/). From there, we continue into a relaxed 1 to 1.5 hour ridge walk along the Planetenweg with views over Zürich, the lake, and the Alps. Conversations unfold naturally along the way. We move in small groups, rotate, and share thoughts on current projects, creative challenges, and topics like AI in design, or whatever emerges in the moment. We end at Gut Mädikon Hofcafé, a hidden farm café, where we spend about one hour enjoying coffee, homemade cake, and relaxed conversation. This is networking without the pressure. Just movement, fresh air, and meaningful exchange. See you there! 😇 **WhatsApp Group (Coordination)** We’ll send the WhatsApp invite after you RSVP. You can also join via Discord below. —— **The Easy Route** Prefer to skip the steep climb? Take the S10 train from Zürich HB to Uetliberg (about 20 minutes), then walk down to Uto Staffel and meet us there around 11:00 AM. Timing will be coordinated via the group on the day. **Getting Back** We walk back along the ridge to Uetliberg, either retracing the Planetenweg or taking the path near the Uetliberg tower. From there, walk down to Triemli station and catch the train home. **Physical Fitness** The initial climb takes about 1.5 hours and is steep, requiring a reasonable level of fitness. If you are unsure, take the easy route. The views are the same, and the Hofcafé cake tastes just as good. **RSVP** If your plans change and you can no longer attend, please update your RSVP so we can adjust the reservation at the Hofcafé. —— **📅 Date** Sunday, June 7, 2026 **📍 Meeting Point (Start)** 10:00 AM at Triemli Station, Zürich **⏰ Duration** \~6 to 7 hours total (including lunch break) **🥾 Difficulty** Moderate (steep initial climb) **⛰️ Elevation gain** \~320 m (485 m > 805 m) **🎒 What to bring** * Hiking shoes or sturdy trail shoes (no sneakers, no sandals) * Water bottle (at least 0.5L) * Weather-appropriate layers (cooler in the forest, windy on the ridge) * Optional snack * Sun protection (hat or cap, sunscreen) **🚶 Return** \~13:30 from Hofcafé —— **🔗 Discord** Get event reminders and connect with other members on Discord: ➡️ [discord.gg/PAyRBDhKkk](http://discord.gg/PAyRBDhKkk) —— **Who’s Visual Fields?** Visual Fields is a network of designers and creatives built for people to connect, support, and share with fellow experts.
