Group Activities: Planned Formats

For the next season, group-oriented activities are regularly announced, which adapt to different fitness levels. Typically, you can expect:

• Guided walks and moderate hikes with breaks and optional stops at restaurants.
• Cycling tours and e-bike outings on well-paved routes in the region.
• Nordic walking, gentle gymnastics, and walking groups with clear meeting points.
• Seasonal winter routes with adjusted pace, as soon as the paths allow.

Information on route length, meeting point, cost sharing, and bringing aids will be announced before each event in the city’s or respective clubs’ event calendar. For safety reasons, pets are usually not allowed in group activities; the organizers’ instructions are decisive.

Social Gatherings: Open Meetings Without Barriers

As supplementary, low-threshold offers, ongoing social gatherings are announced, for example:

• Open regulars’ tables in green spaces or accessible restaurants, without prior registration.
• Game, cooking, and creative rounds, ideal for trying things out and making contacts.
• Themed regulars’ tables, for example about travel or culture, for inspiring exchanges.

The meeting points are usually centrally located and easily accessible by public transport. Dates and any incidental costs are published in advance.

Culture and Learning: Participate and Observe

Senior Theater and Orchestra

For the coming months, participatory offers in theater and music groups are planned. Interested parties can attend rehearsals and join suitable plays or ensembles. Previous experience is welcome but not required; what matters is the desire to create together and participate regularly.

Senior-Friendly City Tours

City tours with short distances, easily understandable explanations, and planned breaks will be offered again. Thematic focuses – from the UNESCO old town to special neighborhoods – are continuously announced.

Spiritual Paths and Nature-Based Timeouts

Those who want to combine movement with inner peace can look forward to spiritual walking offers and mindfulness walks. Quiet routes with short impulses are planned, often ending with a social gathering.

For mountain and hill tours, senior-friendly dates are planned in the warmer season. The requirements are clearly described; breaks, consideration, and being together are the focus.
