This hike follows sandy woodland trails and quiet paths along the Havel River, gradually climbing through the forest to reach some of Berlin’s best vantage points. We’ll climb the steps of the historic Grunewaldturm before stopping for a relaxed break at Kaisergarten am Grunewaldturm, a traditional beer garden overlooking the river. From there, we continue through the forest and up to the summit of Drachenberg, where wide views open out across the Grunewald and the distant Berlin skyline. It’s a chance to leave the busy streets behind, enjoy some fresh forest air, and spend the day exploring one of Berlin’s most beautiful landscapes with a group of curious explorers. **WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS?** **Grunewald:** Berlin’s largest forest, filled with sandy trails, glacial hills, and quiet lakes. A favourite escape for those looking for nature just outside the city. **Havel River:** One of the major rivers of the Berlin-Brandenburg region. Here the river widens into large lakes and peaceful bays surrounded by forest. **Grunewaldturm:** Built in 1899, this historic observation tower rises above the forest overlooking the Havel. Climb the steps to enjoy wide views over the lakes, woodland, and the distant Berlin skyline. **Kaisergarten am Grunewaldturm:** A classic German beer garden beside the tower. With views across the river, it’s the perfect place for a relaxed break, a drink, or a snack. **Drachenberg:** One of Berlin’s best viewpoints. From the top you’ll see a sweeping panorama across the Grunewald, Teufelsberg, and the Berlin skyline — a memorable way to finish the hike. **WHAT IS THE PLAN?** * **10:30 –** Meet at Nikolassee Station and kick-off with brief introductions before starting our hike into Grunewald Forest. * **11:30 –** Continue hiking the hilly forest trails along the Havel, taking breaks as desired at any of the numerous benches with beautiful lake views. * **14:30 –** Arrive at the Kaisergarten am Grunewaldturm Biergarten for a well-deserved lunch and climb the Grunewaldturm. * **15:30 –** Continue hiking through the peaceful Grunewald Forest and over Teufelsberg towards Drachenberg. * **18:15 –** Reach the top of Drachenberg and take a break to soak up the panoramic views. * **19:00 –** Walk down Drachenberg towards the end station. * **19:20 –** Arrive at Heerstraße Station to conclude our adventure. **WHAT IS INCLUDED?** * Community leader & guide for the entire duration * Access to Google photos album dedicated for this trip for sharing all your amazing pics & videos from the trip. * Access to a WhatsApp group for confirmed participants. **OPTIONAL ADD-ONS:** * Entry to the Grunewaldturm viewing platform is optional.

RSVP on Luma: [https://luma.com/oz1a88ms](https://luma.com/oz1a88ms) Silent Reading / Creating Club is a gathering for people who enjoy focusing together in public. Bring a book, a notebook, a sketchpad, knitting needles, whatever you’d like to spend a quiet hour doing. All projects and all participants are welcome. We’re building a community of readers and creators who value depth, presence, and shared silence. The reading and creating isn't the real highlight, though, it’s in the people who return and make it feel like a familiar room. (Please RSVP “yes” only if you can make it, so we can save a seat for you and others on the waitlist.) Our Meeting Point is the **W66 Café**. There’s no entrance fee, but please order at least one item from the café and don’t bring outside food or drinks 🙂 No assignments, expectations, or pressure. Just a shared hour of intentional silence, followed by the opportunity for good conversation. 🕰 Our Agenda **10:30 – 11:00** Arrivals, ordering drinks/food, light social time **11:00 – 12:00** The Great Quiet Hour (Read. Write. Sketch. Code. Think. Sit.) **12:00 – 12:30** Optional socializing: share what you were reading or creating, or simply continue in quiet focus. ## 🏡 House Guidelines To keep this space calm and welcoming for everyone: • Silence during the focus hour (no calls or conversations) • Put cellphones on silent mode • If using technology, please avoid meetings or audio (headphones please!) • Arrive before 11:00 if possible to minimize disruptions

Welcome! This meetup is for neurodivergent people (ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, OCD, etc.) who are learning German and want a low-pressure, structured space to practice speaking. **Logistics:** *📍Location: Kaffeekreis [https://maps.app.goo.gl/LR2yhChFpEkVB1HD9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/LR2yhChFpEkVB1HD9) - **Please order food or drink from the cafe.** *🎧 Bring sensory management tools (headphones, stim toys, sunglasses, etc) - (Optional) A notebook if you like writing things down **How it works:** 🗣️ **Level-based small groups** When we start, we’ll quickly split into groups based on your self-assessed level (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2). → **Max. 4 people per group** to keep sensory load low and speaking time fair. ⏲️ **Organizers group check** The organizers will come around from time to time to each group and ask if you want to stay in your current group or move to a different level—either higher or lower— or if you’d like to talk in different group. We’ll help you move. No pressure. No questions asked. 🚫 No pressure to speak every round. Just listening is fine. 🃏 **Conversation cards & prompts** Each group gets a set of prompt cards (simple questions, situational tasks, or grammar challenges appropriate for that level). You can follow the cards or go off-script — whatever feels right that moment. Let’s practice German in a way that actually works for our brains. ✨

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
