THURSDAYšŸ‘‹āš½FOOTBALL FRIENDLY 20:30-22:00 (Donaucity) w/ SORIN & Video Highlights
Things to know before playing: Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls; We play Thursday Night Football (outdoor only) . We play 90 minutes (kick off is at 20:30, and we meet at least 15 minutes before for a warm up phase). Post-Corona football matches are most likely between 14-16 and 28-32 players. If you would like to join please bring artificial turf shoes (like the ones for indoor turf) and shin pads (not mandatory but definitely recommendable). All I ask is that you come with a good mood, be respectful to everyone, and pay online using the link below. [FOOTxp Thursday Night Football](https://footballexperiences.net/kickaball/p/thursdaynightfootball/) Other methods for payments. **Bank Transfer**: Sorin-Florian Brici AT27 2011 1829 5564 7001 **\* [Revolut](https://revolut.me/brici)** \- Recommended **\* [Wise](https://wise.com/pay/me/sorinb256)** \- Also recommended **\* [Paypal](https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sorinSocial)** \- Please use non\-Commercial product We play light: no sliding, hard tackling, fighting, screaming, & hopefully no injuries. We need to respect current regulations in Vienna, Austria. The main priorities are to have fun and being safe. The drinks are relatively free after the game in the local pub, served to those who have shown fantastic football fair-play skills. We’ll confirm the location, the pitches, and the dressing room numbers via our dedicated Football WhatsApp group. Keep an eye out for the group messages. See you all soon. Sorin SMS/ WhatsApp +43 6764276984 (please ask to be added to our football groups). We will probably need to confirm your presence if you are coming for the first or second time. Important management rule: \> "No shows" are penalized with 10€ fee\. Please remove your name from the list at least SIX\!\!\! \(6\) HOURS before the event\. Book a place via FootballExperiences\.NET using this link [Kick A Ball via FOOTxp.COM](https://footballexperiences.net/kickaball/) One small final note: Please avoid trying to take justice in your hands. If someone is talking bad, complaining, insulting someone, fouling on purpose or committing the usual football shenanigans, please let the organizers know. Measures will be taken, we assure you. 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). Let’s be respectful and mature and try to enjoy the game we all love. That’s why we’re all here. Get to know people from all over the world and have fun! Thank you. Sorin

Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us.

Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and join us! Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you at CafĆ© Pierre! What Should I Bring? Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.

Greifenstein Panorama Hike and Optional Picnic & Swim
Greifenstein Panorama Hike and Optional Picnic & Swim
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** āš ļø**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! Jƶrg

Your plant will have a chance to meet other house plants, make plant friends, and maybe even win some prizes. **What to bring:** \- One of your house plants **What we'll do:** \- Stuff **Where we'll do:** \- Check the location of the event again before you leave\. It's set for Grillplatz 8 at Donauinsel for now\. If it's taken already\, we'll be somewhere in that area\.
