Ebike Rides Berlin

Gravel Gay Sunday

**Let’s open the autumn gravel season this Sunday** For our first weekend excursion this Sunday, we're taking a beautiful, easy point-to-point ride through the forests of Brandenburg. We'll take a quick train up to Eberswalde and ride south through the Biesenthal Basin—including a scenic loop around Hellsee—before finishing right at the Bernau station. We’re gonna bike roughly 50km at a chill pace :) Here is the full plan for the day: **The Terrain & Bikes** We are sticking strictly to hard-packed forest roads, fine gravel, and paved paths. You do *not* need a specialized gravel bike for this. Sturdy city bikes, trekking bikes, and hybrids are completely welcome and will handle this route perfectly. (We just recommend leaving the skinny-tired road/racing bikes at home for this one). **The Schedule** * **10:30** – Meet up at Berlin Gesundbrunnen. (I will post the exact platform in the comments on Sunday morning!) * **11:00** – Catch the RE3 train north to Eberswalde. * **11:45** – Start pedaling! * **14:30 – 15:00** – Arrive in Bernau. We can grab a drink or snack near the station. * **15:30** – Jump on the S2 or RE3 straight back into the city. Everyone should be home by **16:00**! **Route:** [Komoot link](https://www.komoot.com/tour/3335373339) **Don't forget:** * Water & a snack for our halfway stop at the lake. * Warm layers/jacket. * **Bike ticket (Fahrradkarte)** for the train rides. **In case of bad weather:** If it's pouring rain on Sunday morning, I'll post an update here by 8:30 AM. Whether you've been to our evening rides or are joining us for the very first time, you are incredibly welcome. Can't wait to ride with you all!!! :)

Lento goes to Potsdam - Gravel Cycling from Berlin to Potsdam 🍂🌳 (Rescheduled)

**Rescheduled**!!! 🚲 **Lento to Potsdam — Bikes & Cheesecake** Fall is here, and the forests are beautiful! A little escape from Berlin! We'll meet at Brandenburger Tor around 9 AM and ride to Potsdam, taking the scenic route and stopping for lunch and a snack along the way. Once in Potsdam, there's a very good cheesecake spot waiting for us. Priorities, obviously. 🍰 For the way back, you've got two options: take the train back to Berlin or ride the full route back by bike. I'll probably cycle back, so feel free to join if you're up for the extra kilometres. As always with Lento, the route isn't set in stone. If you have any ideas, suggestions or feedback, they're more than welcome. This is a group ride, so let's shape it together! No racing, no pressure — just bikes, good company and cake. Once you RSVP yes, feel free to join the WhatsApp group chat. Daniela :)

The Hideout does Laser Tag

## **What are The Hideout Side Quests?** ​The Hideout Side Quests are half-day pop-up events for adults in and around Berlin to step into The Hideout world without disappearing for a whole weekend. ​Not the full camp weekend. Just a little piece of it. ​Come play, make something, meet people, and remember that weekends can feel different. ​Want the full version? Get on the Summer Camp 2027 waitlist [here](https://tally.so/r/WOAzVP?utm_source=luma). Stay in touch 👉[ Website](https://www.comehideout.com/?utm_source=luma) I [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/come.hideout?utm_source=luma) ## ​Event Description ​Your mission, should you accept it...Laser tag, with some Hideout flare. ​For this Side Quest, we’re heading into a neon-lit arena for three rounds of laser tag, questionable strategy, dramatic team loyalty and the discovery that someone who said *“I’m not competitive”* absolutely is. ​There is also one small catch: ​**Nobody gets to use their real name.** ​When you arrive, you’ll draw your codename for the mission. Then we’ll sort out teams, get our briefing and head into the arena. ​There will be glowing lights, running around in the dark and briefly forgetting that you are an adult with emails to answer. ​No laser tag experience required, obviously. Your only job is to show up and commit to the mission. # ​What to Expect * ​3 rounds of laser tag * ​12 minutes of game time per round * ​Your assigned Hideout codename * ​Team games and changing strategies * ​Equipment + game briefing before we begin * ​A little (or big) friendly competition * ​A prize for the winning side * ​Proof You Were Here * ​Optional pizza, snacks and drinks afterward * ​Approximately 36 minutes of running around wondering why laser tag is considerably more athletic than you remembered ​Real identities may be restored after the final round. ​Maybe. ## What’s Included ​Your ticket includes the full laser tag session, all equipment, three game rounds, our Hideout mission briefing, codename assignment, team shenanigans and a little something for the winners. ​You just show up. We’ll assign the identity crisis. # ​Good to Know ​Laser tag is a sport, which is apparently something we should all know before casually agreeing to run around an arena for three rounds. ​Wear comfortable clothes and proper shoes you can move in. The venue recommends bringing a spare T-shirt because you may get sweaty, ha! ​For this one, black, white or a little neon is encouraged if you want to commit to the aesthetic, but it isn't required. ​**Please arrive on time.** The venue begins preparing our group shortly before the session, including player registration and the initial teams, so we need everyone there before the official game time! ​After our final round, anyone who wants to keep hanging out can stay for a post-mission pizza/drink and debrief. Food and drinks are optional and ordered and paid for individually at the venue. **AGENDA** ​**15:30 – Enter The Grid** ​Arrival, codename draw, introductions, mission briefing ​**16:00 – Game on** ​Equipment briefing + 3 rounds of laser tag ​**17:00 – Mission complete** ​Final scores, winners + **Proof You Were Here** ​**17:15-ish – Post-mission debrief** ​Optional pizza, snacks and drinks at the venue *Order and pay individually* # ​The Hideout Rule ​**Your real name is temporarily classified.** ​Draw your codename. Accept your fate. Play for your team. ​And when you suddenly become wildly competitive over a game involving glowing laser guns (because you will), we saw nothing. *** ​*By signing up you agree to being filmed and photographed for The Hideout content.*

Hike & dine - Schlaubetal [14km]

Golden Andalusia: Moorish Palaces, Mountains and Sea Caves

***Six days across southern Spain, from the Moorish palaces of Granada to a sea kayak under the Maro waterfall. We climb above the tree line in the Sierra Nevada, kayak the Costa del Sol, and end in historic Seville, where the Real Alcázar, one of the city’s great palaces, was used as a filming location for Game of Thrones.*** **HOW DO I JOIN THIS TRIP?** Click on link below to get complete info and to sign up for this event by getting your ticket. [https://urbanaturetravel.com/event/golden-andalusia-moorish-palaces-mountains-and-sea-caves](https://urbanaturetravel.com/event/golden-andalusia-moorish-palaces-mountains-and-sea-caves) **SPECIAL OFFER FOR NEW USERS** * 10% New User Discount using promo code: **MEETUP10** * Valid for this trip or any other trips available on our website. #### **🌍WHY GO?** There is no better place to spend an autumn break than the Costa del Sol, the **sunniest region of Spain**. Late October is the ideal time to visit Andalusia. Daytime temperatures sit comfortably between 22°C and 28°C, the Mediterranean is still warm enough for swimming, and the dense summer crowds have finally gone home. The amazing weather is just the start. What surprises most people is the dramatic landscape. The **Sierra Nevada**, mainland Spain’s highest mountain range, is just 45 minutes from Granada. This means we can hike at an altitude of 3,000 meters in the morning and be back in the city for tapas by evening. An hour south, the mountains plunge straight into the sea. The coastline east of **Málaga** is a protected stretch of cliffs and coves where we’ll kayak into sea caves beneath the Maro cliffs and swim under a waterfall that drops directly into the Mediterranean. Very few places in Europe let you experience both environments in the same week. When it comes to food, **Granada** is one of the last cities in Spain where every drink arrives with a complimentary plate of food, naturally turning dinner into a relaxed crawl from bar to bar. One evening, we’ll head to the Albaicín for flamenco to experience it in an authentic, intimate tablao. Woven through all of this is a history completely unlike the rest of Europe. Eight centuries of Moorish rule left behind masterpieces like the Alhambra in Granada and the Real Alcázar in **Seville**. These palaces are defined by open courtyards, running water channels, intricately carved plaster, and gardens designed specifically for shade and quiet. Join us in the heart of Andalusia for an unforgettable autumn escape, complete with great company, authentic paella, and exceptional wine. **⭐WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS?** **The Alhambra Grounds & the Albaicín:** We walk up through the old Moorish quarter on cobbles that have not changed much in five hundred years, into the free Alhambra grounds, and on to Mirador de San Miguel Alto for sunset. The palace on one side, the Sierra Nevada behind it, and the whole of Granada below. **Sierra Nevada High-Altitude Hike:** Mainland Spain's highest mountain range, and a scenic loop above the tree line at over 2,500 metres. Roughly three hours at an easy pace with plenty of stops. **Sea Kayaking the Maro Cliffs:** Three hours on the water along a protected stretch of the Costa del Sol, paddling into sea caves and stopping at a beach you cannot reach on foot. The highlight is the waterfall that drops straight off the cliff into the sea, and yes, you can swim under it. **The Real Alcázar & Seville Cathedral:** A working royal palace built by Moorish craftsmen for Christian kings, with gardens that take an hour on their own. Next door, the largest Gothic cathedral in the world and the Giralda tower. **Granada's Free Tapas**: Granada is one of the last cities in Spain where a drink still comes with a plate of food, no charge. We do a guided night tapas crawl, trying out all of the specialties Andalusia has to offer. **Traditional Flamenco:** A first-row seat to a traditional flamenco show in a cave-style room in the Albaicín. Experience the soulful passion, fiery rhythm, and unforgettable intensity of live flamenco. **📋TRIP DETAILS** **📅Start and End Date:** Friday morning, 23 October - Wednesday afternoon, 28 October **📍Meeting Time and Location:** Meet your guide around 12 pm at Málaga central train station María Zambrano (exact location to be provided in WhatsApp group for confirmed participants). **📍Finishing Time and Location:** Wednesday afternoon, 28 October in Seville City Centre.
