Mindful Hiking to Hermannskogel
Sunday, October 19, 2025 • 10:30 • Cobenzel parking lot
Let's go on a mindful hike in nature together.
Together we will hike to Hermannskogel, Vienna's highest elevation, and practice various mindfulness practices from the Plum Village tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.
With clear visibility, we will enjoy the view over Vienna from the Habsburgwarte and from Cobenzel. Most of the time we will hike in silence to be able to listen to nature, ourselves and our surroundings. During the rest breaks there will be opportunity for exchange.
During the hike we will practice various practices: listening to the bell, second buddy, mindful eating, mindful sharing, Dharma text, dwelling in nature and communal singing.
