I train @ My Pace - with Jason
-Outdoor Functional Training for All Fitness Levels-
Join us as we combine healthy, balanced movement with fun, gamified ideas to give you our unique FUNctional training! And in case that doesn’t really tell you what to expect, just think short intervals of exercise combined together in a playful and interactive way to help you strengthen your body in a sustainable way while allowing you to meet new people (and often even forget how hard you’re working out).
As a reminder for those nervous about their fitness level: Everything we do, we do with all fitness levels in mind; so the exercises are always adjustable to your level and you’re always strongly encouraged to take it at your own pace - I mean, we’re not called My Pace for nothing!
How to find us: We meet and train behind the calisthenics workout station on the Zirkuswiese of the Prater. Here a link to the location on Google maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/QdRPEaYTiavZbmVW7
Cost: In the interest of inclusivity, we've decided to make our sessions donations based here, so you're invited to pay what you can afford. If that actually makes you more uncomfortable and doesn't make it easier to come, know that we've received donations from €2 to €20 and they all made us very happy, because our primary goal is to get people moving and to show them it can be fun all in all. The money is secondary.
One other thing that’s useful to know:
- In the case of bad weather, we do have a back-up location that will protect us from the rain. Should we need to move, we will change the location of this event here. Please feel free to check back here before any event where you suspect bad weather or, even better, simply get in touch with us! We’re available via WhatsApp message or email.

Bee-eater colony, Weiden
Dear friends,
the loess-face on the Ungerberg near Weiden/Neusiedlersee is a marvelous place to watch:
bee-eaters, jackdaws, starlings and maybe, rabbits on the same wall.
There are two options afterwards, we can decide on the spot
1.
We can go downhill, to the Zitzmannsdorfer Wiesen, a protected meadow in the national park: Neusiedlersee. There are flowering already, so I hope, different kinds of Iris and with a certain probability, we can see stilts, lapwings or other rare birds. Please note: this option means 10 km by feet, minimum.
2.
Or we can return the same way with a stop in one of the numerous Heurigen on the way to the railway station. It’s the shorter way.
The dryness in this season indicates that we go as soon as possible, because the flowering period of many plants is shorter than usual.
Meeting point is **Hauptbahnhof: 9:00**
We go by train with Destination **Pamhagen**
**Departure: 9:09**
please look at the timetabe for the right platform, because ist net yet indicated.
**Buy a ticket to Weiden/See, go and return.**
I hope to see you again at this great hiking occasion
with best regards
ADI
Liebe Freunde,
Die Löss-Wand am Ungerberg bei Weiden/Neusiedler See ist einer der faszinierendsen Plätze um folgende Arten zu beobachten:
Bienenfresser, Dohlen, Stare und manchmal auch Kaninchen. Sie alle haben in der selben Wand ihre Nisthöhlen, die man aus nächster Nähe beobachten kann.
Danach gibt es zwei Optionen, die wir vor Ort noch wählen können
1.
Wir können den Berg runter gehen, zu den Zitzmannsdorfer Wiesen, die ein Teil des Nationalpark Neusiedlersee sind. Wir werden dabei ca. 10 km zu Fuss gehen, wenn das ein Problem ist, bitte nicht diese Variante wählen.
2.
Oder den selben Weg zurück zum Bahnhof und im Ort einkehren, was wesentlich weniger Wegstrecke ist ist.
In den Zitzmannsdorfer Wiesen blühen, so hoffe ich, verschiedene, seltene Arten Iris und es besteht die Wahrscheinlichkeit, Rotschenkel, Stelzenläufer und Kiebitze zu sehen.
Die Trockenheit in diesem Jahr legt nahe, dass wir diesen Ausflug so bald wie möglich machen, weil viele Blumen früher und zugleich kürzer blühen, als sonst.
Wir fahren mit dem Zug Richtung **Pamhagen, vom Hauptbahnhof** ab und treffen uns dort um **9:00.**
**Abfahrt: 9:09**, bitte auf der Anzeigetafel nachsehen, auf welchem Gleis. Das ist im Fahrplan noch nicht angegeben.
Bitte kauft ein **Ticket nach Weiden/See mit Rückfahrt.**
Ich freue mich auf möglichst viele Interessierte.
Liebe Grüße
Adi

* Meeting point: We’ll meet at the bike parking at Langenzersdorf train station.
* Start: 12:00

* If the pace is consistently too high for you, please speak up—we’ll try to regroup, but we’ll maintain the target pace.
**Breaks & Supplies**
* Breaks: depending on group preference, either one longer break OR 2–3 shorter stops (snack, water, photos).
* Please bring enough food and water (at least 1.5–2 L, depending on the weather). There are places to refill, but not everywhere.

* Option 2: Ride about 10 km to the nearest train station:
* Marchegg Bahnhof
* Hainburg/Donau
* Please check connections/timetables in advance if you plan to take the train.
**Schedule**
* 12:00 Start
* En route: short stops or one longer break

Gemeindealpe & Erlaufsee – Alpine Views and Lakeside Paths
Hi everyone,
On **Sunday, May 24** 2026, I'm planning a spring hike from Mitterbach train station to the top of Gemeindealpe and walk down along a scenic route to Erlaufsee.
This hike is all about walking, wide views, and enjoying the landscape together with plenty of time for conversation, short breaks, and simply being outdoors.
**Highlights**
🏞️ **Gemeindealpe** – alpine views
🌄**Erlaufsee**
**Hike Details**
**Distance:** approx. 15 km
**Elevation:** approx. 850m ascent
**Walking time:** approx. 6-7 hours
**Difficulty:** **MEDIUM**. While technically mostly easy it's a proper mountain after all... so you should be fit enough and have some hiking experience. Since this is a group hike the route might have to be adapted for safety reasons.
**[https://www.bahn-zum-berg.at/ybbstaler-alpen/gemeindealpe-erlaufsee/](https://www.bahn-zum-berg.at/ybbstaler-alpen/gemeindealpe-erlaufsee/)**

Trains from Mitterbach back to St. Pölten leave every hour
**What to Expect**
We’ll walk together at a **relaxed, social pace**, staying as a group throughout the day
This is **not a race or performance hike as long** as you have basic fitness for this hike — the focus is on shared experience, conversation, and enjoying the landscape at an unhurried rhythm
We’ll take regular short breaks whenever useful
🥪 We don’t plan to stop at huts or restaurants during the hike, so please bring your own snacks and drinks (approx. **2 liters of water**)
🌧️ Weather can be changeable, so **basic rain protection is recommended**
🥾 Please wear **sturdy hiking shoes**. Some sections may be muddy, depending on the weather. I reserve the right to refuse people who don't have suitable footwear to join for the hike on the day for safety reasons
🧢 Please bring **sun protection** (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses), especially on warm or sunny days
Toilets are only available on the train and on top of Gemeindealpe as well as at Erlaufsee
**Important Note**
⚠️ **Disclaimer**: 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

**Wachau Trip: Scenic Hike & Dürnstein Ruins**
❗️Even if Meetup shows the event as full, please still join the WA group and fill out the registration form. The form will indicate whether there are still spots available for the hike❗️
Join the WA group for the information: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GqWhKBUCR5RAhI6WUguIcR?mode=gi_t
——————
**You asked for something more challenging… here it is** 😉
An adventure that’s still doable for most people — but not so easy that it gets boring. And trust me, the views are absolutely worth it. This one is going to be a hit.
📅 Date: May 24
🕒 Time: ~9:00
📍 Location: Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof
**What makes it special:**
— breathtaking viewpoints over the Danube valley
— charming Dürnstein village
— a visit to the famous castle ruins
📏 Distance: ~5–6 km
⛰ Elevation: ~330 m
⏱ Duration: ~2.5 hours (plus breaks & photos)
**About the hike:**
This route is sometimes classified as red or black. But I’ve done it several times, and it’s absolutely manageable if you’re reasonably active.
It’s definitely more challenging than a typical Stadtwanderweg, but far from an extreme hike.
⚠️ **Expect:**
– some steep and narrow sections with cables
– a few rocky parts
– beautiful exposed views
👉 You don’t need climbing experience, but you should:
– feel comfortable walking on uneven terrain
– not have a strong fear of heights
– have basic fitness level
Perfect for active people who want a bit of adventure, but not a hardcore hike.
🥾 Hiking shoes are a must
💶 **Participation fee:** 28 € (including train & bus tickets)
👥 **Group size:** strictly limited to 14 participants
I keep the group intentionally small so the experience stays comfortable, safe, and enjoyable for everyone.
🎫 **If you have a Klimaticket:**
Just mention it in the registration form, and you’ll only pay a 12 € organizational fee.
In case of bad weather conditions the trip will be postponed.
🚸The main goal of my trips is about enjoying the moment, meeting new people, and making beautiful places accessible even if you’re not a pro.
