Hike and learn (German) after work - Uetliberg

A weekly after work hike/walk in the outdoors while practicing German.
There is no competition and no hard goal other than enjoying an evening outdoors keeping to a healthy moderate physical practice while learning together.

Plan:
18:30 meet at Albisguetli tram stop (end stop of Tram 13)
18:35 we start walking the steep path up the Uetliberg (if you arrive late it will be up to you to catch up).

Lenght: 2.5 km (one way)
Ascent: 371m
Hiking time: c. 1h (one way)

At the top we stop for 30 mins or so to enjoy the panorama and some refreshments (as desired).

We walk back down to the starting point or, for those who prefer, there is the option to catch the train back to Zurich HB from the Uetliberg train station (trains each x:05, x:35 take about 30 mins to reach HB).

During the event we converse in German.
Recommend minimum German level: B1-B2.

Fluent/native German speakers who are just interested in the after work hike and don’t mind listening to broken German are also welcome :)

***** Safety and responsibility ****
This is not a guided hike/walk. I am not a guide or a language teacher.
This is just a way to connect adults with a similar interest in practicing German while spending time outdoors.

You participate on your own authority and entirely at your own risk. You particularly need to assure adequate assessment of the suitability of the activity as if you were going by yourself. The practical info provided above is only for general guidance. I am not a professional guide.
