A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
These hikes are about enjoying nature, discovering interesting places and sharing the experience with others. A few simple principles help keep them enjoyable for everyone.
Stay together. Please keep up with the group and let me know before stepping away.
Respect the surroundings. Stay on permitted paths, respect wildlife, vegetation, private property and any artworks or historical structures. Leave no rubbish behind.
Respect the group. No smoking, vaping, fires or portable speakers during the hike.
Be prepared. Please assess whether the distance, pace and terrain suit your fitness and experience.
Dogs: Well-behaved dogs are welcome if they can comfortably complete the stated distance.
We are walking as a group, so individual pace adjustments or extended stops may not always be possible.
WEATHER & ROUTE CHANGES
We hike in most weather conditions, including ordinary rain. However, storms, thunderstorms, severe ice or other unsafe conditions may require cancellation or changes to the route.
I'll share a go/no-go update on Thursday, with an additional update on Friday if necessary.
Weather, trail conditions, transport disruptions or group progress may require adjustments to the planned route, timing or distance.
During the winter months, limited daylight is an additional consideration. We will aim to finish before dark.
REGISTRATION & CANCELLATION
Please register through Luma. Your place is confirmed only once your registration has been approved.
To keep the experience personal and manageable, the group is limited to 12 participants.
If your plans change, please cancel your registration as early as possible so someone on the waiting list can join.
Repeated no-shows without notice may affect approval for future hikes.
ABOUT THE HOST
I'm Tamer. I organize hikes around Berlin and Brandenburg, exploring places that have a story to tell, from quiet forests and landscapes shaped by history to overlooked corners and abandoned places slowly reclaimed by nature.
PARTICIPATION & SAFETY
This is a private, non-commercial group walk, not a professionally guided tour. Participation is voluntary and at your own risk. Each participant is responsible for their own safety, fitness, equipment and personal decisions throughout the hike. The organizer does not provide participant insurance.
