About this Event
Enjoy a trip through nature while improving your German. The unique Hike & Learn concept is suitable for levels A2/B1/B2 or above and includes mini-breaks for German conversation practice led by a native-speaking facilitator.
Nearby Vienna at only 477m, this is an almost surreal mountain scenery fit for Heidi or the Trapp's. After meeting up at Vienna Main Station (Wien Hauptbahnhof), a train and bus will take us to the start of our hiking route. First we walk up a steep-ish forest trail until reaching the Apple Cider plateau. From here we continue our route, passing Charlie's Lookout with stunning views until arriving at the actual alp. Following a former cable car track, we descend to a forest hut and further down along an atmospheric creek. A hidden, mountain-hugging pathway will lead us back to the bus stop for our return trip to Vienna Main Station. Net hiking time is ~3 hours.
Underway we'll have fun with ice breakers, discussion prompts and local trivia.
Your host is an outward-thinking local who lived in three cultures on two continents. Fluent in 7½ languages, he visited more than 40 countries (incl. places like Port Harcourt or Pyongyang) and loves sharing off-beat travel stories. Ask him anything!
