Day Hikes Berlin

🌿Schlachtensee Summer Social Hike + Optional Lakeside Meditation 🧘‍♀️

(READ THE FULL DESCRPTION) After a long break, I'm excited to organize another social hike! 😊 Last year, we explored this beautiful **Schlachtensee** route together, and it turned out to be one of our most loved hikes. With peaceful forest trails, crystal-clear lake views, and wonderful conversations, we're bringing this favorite route back for another relaxing day in nature. **📅 Date:** **Sunday**, **26 July 2026** **⏰ Time:** **10:00 AM – 3:00 PM** **Organizer Contribution:** \*\*€3 (\*\*The contribution helps support the time and effort that goes into planning, organizing, and hosting these community events.) **🥾 Distance:** **\~15 km** **📍 Start:** **Schlachtensee S-Bahn** **🏁 End:** **Grunewald S-Bahn** **🌿 Difficulty:** Easy to Moderate **👥 Style:** Social Hike ✨ **What's new this time?** During our lakeside break, I'll be offering a gentle **10-minute guided meditation**. It's completely optional and suitable for everyone—no previous meditation experience is needed. Whether you choose to join the meditation, relax by the lake, enjoy your lunch, or simply soak in the peaceful surroundings, the choice is yours. **💛** ## What to expect This isn't a race—it's a relaxed social hike where we can enjoy nature, meet new people, have meaningful conversations, and spend a refreshing day outdoors together. We'll walk through beautiful forest trails, stop for a longer break by the lake, and, if the weather is nice, you're welcome to bring your swimsuit for a swim. ## What to bring 🥾 Comfortable walking shoes 💧 1–2 litres of water 🥪 Snacks or a packed lunch ☀️ Sunscreen and a hat if it's sunny 🏖️ Swimwear and a towel (optional) ## Before you RSVP • Please RSVP only if you're sure you can attend, as places are limited. • We'll start on time at **10:00 AM** and won't be able to wait for late arrivals. • Everyone joins at their own responsibility and is responsible for their own safety and well-being throughout the hike. Please wear appropriate footwear, stay hydrated, and hike at a pace that's comfortable for you. * During the hike, we'll take a **group photo** to share on our Meetup page and social media. If you'd prefer not to be in the photos, just let me know on the day—you're absolutely welcome to opt out, and I'll make sure your preference is respected. ## A welcoming community One of the goals of these hikes is to create a space where everyone feels comfortable, included, and safe. Please treat everyone with kindness and respect, regardless of their background, nationality, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, or hiking experience. If you experience or witness any discrimination, harassment, inappropriate behavior, or anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, please let me know as the organizer. I'll do my best to ensure everyone has a positive and enjoyable experience. I'm really looking forward to seeing familiar faces again and welcoming new ones. If you've been meaning to spend a day outdoors, meet great people, and recharge in nature, I'd love for you to join us. See you on the trail! 🌿

Paddleboarding New Venice and Muggelsee

**Donations not obligatory for this one as it was already pre-planned in the Telegram chat, but I would appreciate a 2-5 eur donation to pay the Meetup fee that keeps the group running.** **Invitation to the Telegram community. ALL COMMUNICATION for this Event** will be done **in the Event Chat&Photos** subchannel. **Mute/Unmute** your notifications for **each subchannel to your preference:** [https://t.me/+8-_rnJBuabBkNjI0](https://t.me/+8-_rnJBuabBkNjI0) **PLEASE READ THE WHOLE DESCRIPTION, THERE ARE SOME DETAILS THAT NEED TO BE CLEAR TO EVERYONE.** Saturday is rumored to be sunny and hot, so we are taking the chance and going paddleboarding near Berlin. We will see the many channels of Neu Venedig, the vast waters of Muggelsee, and perhaps other nice secrets for the ones willing to paddle further (Gosener Graben). For this, we will have a mixed group of (I assume) various levels of experience starting around 11:10 am at [Meeting Spot A](https://maps.app.goo.gl/eSxgpCrjpaN2sDoe8), [Kanuverleih-Berlin.de](https://www.kanuverleih-berlin.de/) . There are no reservations made, so you are responsible of getting your own paddleboard there, or you can opt for a canoe/kayak if you prefer it. The price of the SUPs (paddleboards) is fixed to a whole day for 25 euros, while the canoes/kayaks is per hour, until a maximum of 40 for a day. If you take a paddleboard, we prefer that either you already have experience standing on one, or that you don't mind that perhaps you'll have to sit and use it as a canoe for a good length of time if you don't manage to stand while on transit. **Checklist:** **-** A very good amount of water (being on the board gets thirsty) and some food. \- A cover for your head \(sun hits hard and long on the water\) \- Sunscreen and/or uv\-clothes \- No fear of the water\. You will fall minimum once\. \- Money for rental\, and maybe safe storage for your phone/valuables \(I assume the rental shop gives either a storage option to carry with or offers to store your items\, but never hurts to have a backup plan\) \- A mindset of fun while keeping a moderate amount of caution and the ability to take care of yourself\, as we might not be one merged group all the time\. To arrive there, you'd take S3 and a bus connection, probably 161. As for length of the activity, it's up to you. The main spots can probably be done in 4 hours or less. I'll likely stay longer. **Last but important, there are two possible meeting spots, depending on three scenarios:** 1\. You dont have a paddleboard\. \(Meeting Spot A\) 2\. You have your own paddleboard and dont mind spending 5 euro to launch it from a harbor\, have toilets and start with more of the group \(Meeting Spot A\) 3\. You have your own paddleboard and are a cheapskate \(Meeting Spot B\) [Meeting Spot A](https://maps.app.goo.gl/uKnSf5Td6Wnpg1gC8) is the already mentioned rental shop. [Meeting Spot B](https://maps.app.goo.gl/RWTK2DvrCSJZrzUR9) is the Kleiner Muggelsee beach. I personally will be in Meeting Spot B at 11 am inflating my SUP and heading from there, I expect most people would want Meeting Spot A. Whichever group gets ready the fastest goes to find the other one. (its not a big distance between the spots). After meeting up, we can do a bit of practice and fundamentals for those that are newer to the sports. Remember to take a look at the area of the map and remember the meeting plan, as once in the water I am not sure how much I will be able to safely check my phone, if at all. That's all! See you there! **Disclaimers:** \- Participation is under your own responsibility\, the organizers are not liable for damages or losses\. \- Some pictures/video might be taken and displayed publicly for the purposes of community or promotion of the group\. Please request their removal or modification if relevant\.

Cycle & dine - Seehof Rheinsberg

**ATTENTION: This is one of the highlights each year! A 2 days-tour with a Dinner on SAT. While there is no need to stay overnight, joining the Dinner is part of the tour.** https://www.meetup.com/berlin-cycling/events/315749152 https://www.meetup.com/berlin-cycling/events/315749315 Please check your accommodation yourself (in case you need some, the camp ground is just a few km away)! ========== FACTS ========== ROUTE: Neustrelitz > Useriner See > Giesenschlagsee > Rheinsberg LEVEL: Intermediate to Experienced DISTANCE: 50ish kms MEETING POINT: 08:15 - Berlin Südkreuz ========== FACTS ========== ========= DETAILS ========= **IMPORTANT:** This is a 2-day tour and the idea is to cycle out there, have a delicious Dinner and cycle back TOGETHER! So please check your accomodation (or tent) before you confirm. The restaurant does offer vegetarian options but maybe no vegan (please check yourself if you prefer that). **ROUTE:** This is the yearly visit to one of the best restaurants in Brandenburg, the Seehof Rheinsberg, [www.seehof-rheinsberg.de](http://www.seehof-rheinsberg.de/) A place certainly not to be missed! Due to the ongoing fire in the Müritz nature reserve it was not clear if we could pass the originally planned route. So we will start in Neustrelitz this time and cycle "downhill", ar least mapwise.! Cycling on a relaxed route right after 10 km is the first option for a swim in the Useriner See. After that it is mainly quiet, peaceful and green (aka forrest paths). Passing the Fleether Mühle 18 km later there is a chance for a coffee and after 2 more km a last chance for a swim in the crystal clear Giesenschlagsee. From there we head the remaining 17km straight to the restaurant where we're awaited for a most delicious dinner at the Seehof Rheinsberg at around 18:00. All in all this is planned to be a relaxed tour but being there at Dinner time requires to not forget time at all. **SPEED:** Leisurely around 14 km/h, at least if the wind doesn't come from the front. This is like "Being able to see the details on the side of the road and enjoying the view in general… and have a chat." **DISTANCE AND TERRAIN:** This is an about 50ish km ride, with mainly solid but also some forrest or soft ground. In general: Bikes with thin tyres (Race bikes, Road bikes, Fixies), rented bikes (Uber, Swapfiets) or any special bikes (Folding bikes, BMX etc.) are not suitable! You won't have fun, trust me! And if you want to bring Kids or Animals please get in touch before! **MEETING POINT:** 08:15 - Berlin Südkreuz, platform 4 for RE5 to Rostock I have a blue Villiger Trekking bike. **TICKET:** From Berlin to Neustrelotz it is 30,- EUR regular. I'd buy a Berlin-Brandenburg-Ticket (36,50) and invite the first 4 people who get in touch to join me on that ticket. Please bring cash! All others: please feel free to organise your own Ticket/BBT. And don't forget a Bike ticket. **WAY OUT:** 08:34 - dep. Berlin Südkreuz, RE 5, platform 4 09:59 - arr. Neustrelitz Feel free to hop in at any other station (I'd highly recommend not to try Gesundbrunnen, except you're short of coffee and need some extra excitment in the morning). **WAY BACK:** There is no way back since that day we're all staying in Rheinsberg. **RECOMMENDATIONS:** Check the train schedule in the morning! The DB loves to stir up the plans by changing trains on short notice! If anything happens the Meeting point is the starting point of the cycling. Communication is taking place in the WA channel. Join here: https://hub.keinezeitfuerarbeit.de/join-community While we'll stop somewhere for a snack and/or coffee please always bring some drinks along! And, PLEASE make sure your bike is in a proper state! Check your tyre pressure and oil the chain! Does your light work? Having a toolset is highly recommended and a spare inner tube to fix a flat tyre a big plus! While we might be able to help in some circumstances please think about what happens if we can't! Thank you! Bringing special equipment (Helmet, safety vest etc.) is NOT required but welcome if you feel more safe using it. Last but not least: In case you need special medical treatment please make me aware of that upfront. Even if everyone is responsible for themselves I'd like to be able to handle it if necessary. ========= DETAILS =========

Siemesstadt! - Cycle Tour and Explore

# **Siemesstadt! - Cycle Tour and Explore** **Theme:** Cycle Loop + History + Beer Garden on the Havel. **Time:** 12:00 **Start:** Hamburger Bahnhof **Distance:** 25 to 40 km (depending if you cycle back) **Suggested contribution:** €5 This week we will be exploring Siemensstadt. A whole district of Berlin built out by one of Germany and Berlin’s most famous firms. Factories, beautiful housing estates, military industry, canals and power generation are all on display. We will end at a beer garden by the Havel in one of the old factories. **The Tour** We will follow, more or less, the **"Produktion und Munition" Industrial Heritage Cycle Route**. Starting at Hamburger Bahnhof we will travel up through Wedding and Jungfernheidepark, rolling into Siemesstadt **UNESCO-listed** Siemens Housing Estate and from there looping around the vast industrial complexes of Siemens that once employed more than 55,000 people. We'll also have a look at some of the power stations in the area, and investigate the story of West Berlin's isolated electricity network during the Cold War. We'll finish with a well-earned beer together on a little island in the Havel river near Spandau. From there you can get the train home or cycle back to town to complete the 40km loop. I am an accredited tour guide in Berlin, specialising in telling stories about the city's industrial heritage. I ask for a contribution of **€5** to organise the tour and share my knowledge. **Disclaimer:** Please note that all participants attend as group members, not as customers and are liable for themselves. Please read the group description in full for an explanation of terms and liabilities. **The Cycling** This is a gentle-paced sightseeing ride rather than a sporting event. 🚲 We'll cover around 25 kilometres, 40 if you cycle back to town. There will be frequent stops for stories, photographs and discussion. Anyone with a decent bicycle and experience cycling around Berlin should be comfortable on this route. **What to Bring** 🚲 Spare inner tube suitable for your bike 💶 Cash for drinks or snacks 🌧 Waterproofs (just in case!) ☀️ Suncream 🥪 Water and snacks 😊 Curiosity and a sense of adventure **Highlights** ⚡ Discover how Siemens built one of the world's first purpose-designed industrial company towns 🏭 Explore the monumental Wernerwerk factories that made Siemens a global engineering giant 🕰️ Admire the famous Wernerwerk Clock Tower, the symbol of Siemensstadt 🏘️ Cycle through the UNESCO World Heritage Siemens Housing Estate and learn how industry transformed workers' lives 🔋 Discover how electricity generation, transport and manufacturing came together to create Berlin's "Electropolis" ⚔️ Explore Spandau's centuries-old military history and its role as the centre of Prussian arms production 🔥 See the enormous Reuter Power Station and hear how West Berlin became an electrical island during the Cold War 🚆 See the historic Siemensbahn, built to transport tens of thousands of workers every day 📸 Fantastic photography opportunities among some of Berlin's finest industrial architecture 🍺 Finish with a relaxed drink together on a beautiful island in the Havel River. I estimate the tour to Spandau will take about 3 hours. After this it would be an extra hour back to town for people who cycle back. Should be a fun explorative Saturday afternoon. Hope to see you there! **Simon**
