What we’re about
We are a group of nice and cheerful people who like to be active in the outdoors. We meet for hikings and other outdoor sports in and around Hamburg and in Northern Germany. We are of all ages and come from many countries, are open minded, friendly and always interested in meeting new people. Join Hamburg Hikers if you are new to Hamburg, if you want to get to know the Hamburg area and its people better or just if you like hiking with a group. Attending is free for all events! (... but you may incur costs for your tickets, admission, food and drinks.)
If you have an idea for an event, please give notice and become an organizer of Hamburg Hikers! It's easy and you define all conditions for your event: the sporting level, the distance, the pace, the duration, the supporting program, group size, language of the event description and everything else that is important for you. Just make sure your event somehow matches the groups purpose and that it is non commercial. And give the participants a fair description about what to expect. If you have an idea for an event but are afraid to organize, please send a message to Lutz or talk to him on a hike.
The annual fees for this group are around 240€ per year, depending on the dollar exchange rate. If you would like to support us, you can help us a lot with a donation via Paypal to https://paypal.me/lbrck

Wir sind eine Gruppe netter und gut gelaunter Menschen, die gerne aktiv in der Natur unterwegs sind. Wir treffen uns zu Wanderungen und anderen Outdoor-Aktivitäten in und um Hamburg und in Norddeutschland. Wir sind jeden Alters und stammen aus vielen Ländern, sind aufgeschlossen, freundlich und immer daran interessiert, neue Leute kennenzulernen. Werde Mitglied von Hamburg Hikers, wenn du neu bist in Hamburg, wenn du die Stadt, die Umgebung und die Menschen besser kennenlernen willst oder einfach nur, weil du gerne mit einer Gruppe wandern möchtest. Die Teilnahme ist bei allen Events kostenlos! (... aber möglicherweise entstehen dir Kosten für deine Fahrkarte, Eintritt, Essen und Trinken.)
Wenn du eine Idee zu einer Veranstaltung hast, melde dich und werde ein Organizer von Hamburg Hikers! Das ist ganz einfach und du bestimmst alle Bedingungen für deinen Event: den sportlichen Anspruch, die Distanz, das Tempo, die Dauer, das Rahmenprogramm, die Gruppengröße, die Sprache der Event-Beschreibung und alles andere, was dir wichtig ist. Achte nur darauf, das dein Event irgendwie zum Zweck der Gruppe paßt und das er nicht kommerziell ist. Und gebe den Teilnehmern eine ehrliche Beschreibung, was sie erwartet. Wenn du eine Idee für einen Event hast, aber lieber nicht selbst organisieren möchtest, schreibe bitte eine Nachricht an Lutz oder sprich mit ihm darüber auf einer Wanderung.
Die jährlichen Gebühren für diese Gruppe betragen, abhängig vom Dollar-Kurs, um die 240€ im Jahr. Wenn du uns unterstützen möchtest, hilfst du uns sehr mit eine Spende via Paypal an https://paypal.me/lbrck

Upcoming events (4)
See all- Rostocker Heide (20 km / moderate)Warnemünde, Alter Strom, Liegeplatz 9, Rostock
Route
Schnatermann - Postwiese - Radewiese - Torfbrücke beach - Graal - "Rostock-Torfbrücke" (DB)The Rostocker Heide is a large forest at the coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. One of the highlights is the Torfbrücke beach where this forest clashes with the Baltic Sea which is rougher here than at the Schleswig-Holstein coast. I like also very much the huge reed areas along our route.
The idea is not to walk slowly but to take long breaks, maybe one when we reach the beach and another before we leave. Swimming is possible.
The event begins in Warnemünde and ends in Rostock. I suggest to embed this hike in a long weekend from Friday to Sunday at the Baltic Sea. But it is not completely impossible to arrive from Hamburg or/and to return to Hamburg on Saturday. See the accommodation options and the time tables for more information.
In order to give those more time who want to book an accommodation, joining this hike will work as follows:
- The number of participants will be limited to 12.
- First, there will be only a wait list.
- When you have booked something, send me a message and you will be pulled in - up to the limit, regardless of your position on the wait list.
- In June, the remaining spots will be assigned to others already on the wait list.
- After that, still remaining spots will become available for joining as usual.
Please note:
- If you are not at the boat on time, there is no possibility to join the hike.
- With respect to bookings: it cannot be guaranteed that the hike will take place. Of course, it will be cancelled only for a good reason. And I think, even in that case it should be easy to have a nice day there.

Ostseecamp Graal-MüritzA (probably expensive) hotel at our destination - optimal location, very good (and affordable) restaurant:
Waldhotel Graal-MüritzWith one of these options or any other accommodation in Graal-Müritz, you can stay at the beach for the sunset! But check the distance to the next station, if you go by train!
Alternatively, you can stay in Rostock, Warnemünde or between Rostock and Warnemünde along the frequently running S-Bahn. There you can enjoy the city life, the harbor and a nice beach at Warnemünde, too.

- I recommend shoes which you can easily put on and off as beach sections will alternate with paths in the forest. Even sandals might be an option (although not ideal for the first part).

- A swimming suit, if you want
