Donaustadtbrücke to Nordende (25KM, leave whenever you want) 🌳🌲🏞️
Hey guys! 👋
On Monday (May 25), I’m planning a nice hike along the Donauinsel. We’re gonna walk all the way from the U2 station up to the very northern tip of the island and back.
It’s completely flat, right by the water, tons of green, and zero cars to worry about. Super chill vibes, perfect for catching up, getting some fresh air, and honestly just unplugging for a bit while we clock some kilometers.
The best part? You absolutely do not have to do the whole thing. If you only want to vibe with us for a bit, you can dip whenever you want:
🚉 Donauinsel (U1) – Super easy exit back into the city (around 3 km in)
🚉 Handelskai (U6 & Train) – Another easy spot to catch a train to Floridsdorf, Meidling, or Hauptbahnhof (around 6.5 km in)
Totally up to you how far you want to push it. Going all the way to the northern tip and back is a decent workout, so only do the full stretch if you’re feeling up for it on the day!
Why you should come:
🌊 Water views for a big part of the day—literally right next to the Danube
🌳 Super chill, car-free paths along the island
🚉 Zero commitment: if your legs start giving out, you can just hop on a metro and head home
💬 Good vibes & good convos: we’re not racing, it's all about hanging out and taking breaks
Meeting Point
📍 U2 Station Donaustadtbrücke (Keisermühlen exit)
🕖 07:30 a.m. (Yeah, it's an early one, but we'll beat the midday heat!)
The Deets
⏱️ Time: around 6.5 hours of pure walking with some small breaks to rest the feet (around 5 min each)
📏 Distance: up to 25.4 km (if you do the whole out-and-back)
⛰️ Elevation: basically none (maybe 90m total), it’s literally as flat as a pancake
🔴 Difficulty: Technically super easy, but rated "Hard" just because 25 km is no joke for the feet
🚶 Pace: Comfortable and social (around 3.8-4.5 km/h), with plenty of snack breaks
The Game Plan
Going out:
Donaustadtbrücke (U2) — 0 km
Donauinsel (U1) — ~3 km
Handelskai (U6 & Train) — ~6.5 km
Northern tip of the island — ~12.7 km
Heading back:
We’ll just flip it and trace our steps right back to Donaustadtbrücke.
*Group Pace Disclaimer (The Serious-ish Part)*
If you decide to sprint ahead and leave the group behind, I’m gonna assume you’ve started a new life living among the Danube swans, cyclists, and people who power-walk in jeans. If you run off, you lose all group perks—meaning no navigation help, no moral support, no sharing snacks, and zero protection from aggressive seagulls. You speed, you’re on your own! 🫡
If you feel bad at any point of the hike please inform the rest of the group and feel free to leave (we are not competing to see who can suffer more silently).
*Stuff to Bring*
I'll drop a weather update on Friday night. Since it's late May, it should be prime spring weather, so get ready for some sun.
☀️ Sunscreen and sunnies are a must
🥾 Comfy shoes: it's flat asphalt and gravel, but your feet will feel those 25 km, so wear good sneakers/hiking shoes. Personal tip (bring another pair of socks, your feet will thank you).
💧 Pack snacks (your body will very likely be happy to get some energy) and plenty of water (at least 1.5 to 2 liters) because there will be parts of the hike where there are not public water sources. We aren't planning any restaurant stops, so pack a nice picnic lunch!
*Disclaimer*
Just the usual: this is a completely casual, private hangout. I’m not a certified guide or anything, so you’re joining at your own risk and responsible for yourself.
Can't wait to see you guys there for a solid day by the water! 🌊🏃♂️☀️
Best wishes, Robert!

unexpected bea-eaters in Vienna
Dear friends,
I di'nt trust my ears, the first time I heard their vivacious chirping, while cruising with my bike on the Donauinsel.
But i's true, a little colony of bea-eaters enriches the sky and the trees over there, I made some fotos.
If anyone is interested to see one of the most colorful birds in Austria, please follow me, **on wednesday 27.05.**
Our meeting point is **U2 station Donaustadtbrücke, 10:00**
Please take the exit, where the cycle-way passes.
Also we can see:
flying insects, and starlings.
bring your tele lenses, or binoculars and drinking bottles as well.
I'm looking forward to see you
best regards
Adi
Liebe Leute,
ich traute meinen Ohren kaum, als ich vorgestern das muntere Zwitschern von Bienenfressern hörte, während ich mit dem Rad die Donauinsel entlang fuhr. Aber tatsächlich, eine kleine Gruppe davon bereichert den Himmel und die Bäume, rund um einen Hügel mit lehmiger Steilwand.
Wer mit mir eine der schönsten Vogelarten Österreichs beobachten, vielleicht auch fotografieren möchte, ist herzlich eingeladen zu diesem Event **am MI, 27.05.**
Treffpunkt ist die **U2 Station Donaustadtbrücke, um 10:00**
Bitte zum Ausgang kommen, wo der Radweg vorbeiführt !
Ebenfalls zu sehen:
Viele Fluginsekten und Stare, die auch dort nisten
Bringt eure Teleobjektive, oder Feldstecher mit, soweit vorhanden.
Ich freue mich euch zu sehen
Grüße
Adi

Humming Traditions: SODAI - Straw, Form & Wind
An immersive workshop for adults, quiet hands, patient minds, and those who enjoy the slow rhythm of creation.
🌿Limited spots. The group is limited to 8 people. You can secure your place by purchasing a ticket through the link:
https://doobeedoo-goodies.sumupstore.com/produkt/humming-traditions-sodai-straw-form-and-wind
🌿Date: 27th of May
🌿Time: 18:00—20:30 (it might take longer, depending on group tempo)
🌿Location: DooBeeDoo Goodies Atelier (Märzstraße 86, 1150 Vienna)
Step into the gentle rhythm of creation and discover Sodai, traditional Lithuanian straw mobiles that once filled homes with balance, harmony, and quiet beauty. In this workshop, we will explore the geometry of air, learning how to prepare and string straw into delicate symmetrical forms that sway softly with every breeze. Piece by piece, your hands will follow the same patterns that generations before us used to invite order and peace into their homes.
You’ll learn the basic techniques of straw preparation, stringing, and construction, and experience how a simple natural material can transform into something light, precise, and full of meaning. Together, we’ll move through a calm, meditative process, each gesture connecting thought, breath, and creation in quiet balance.
By the end, you’ll leave not only with your own handmade Sodas, a timeless ornament carrying both heritage and your creative touch, but also with the knowledge, focus, and stillness that this ancient craft awakens. It feels less like finishing an object and more like completing a gentle ritual of patience and peace.
To keep the experience personal and attentive, the group will be small and intimate, space is limited, so that every participant can receive individual guidance and care.
This workshop invites you to slow down, focus, and reconnect — with your hands, your thoughts, and the quiet poetry of simple materials. No previous experience is needed, only patient hands, a calm mind, and an eye for quiet detail.
🌿🌿🌿
Humming Traditions is a series of creative workshops that explore the living, breathing essence of cultural practices. Each event invites participants to connect with ancient techniques, natural materials, and artistic expression in a hands-on, immersive experience.
The series celebrates the quiet resonance of tradition, the subtle vibrations, textures, and forms that have carried meaning through centuries. Whether through sound, movement, or craft, Humming Traditions is about experiencing culture as a living, dynamic, and tactile art form.
Each workshop stands on its own yet shares a common thread: creativity, mindfulness, and a connection to nature and heritage. Participants leave with newly learned skills, a calm mind, and a deeper appreciation for cultural artistry.

**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.
