**ATTENTION: This is one of the highlights each year! A 2 days-tour with a Dinner on SAT. While there is no need to stay overnight, joining the Dinner is part of the tour.** https://www.meetup.com/berlin-cycling/events/315749152 https://www.meetup.com/berlin-cycling/events/315749315 Please check your accommodation yourself (in case you need some, the camp ground is just a few km away)! https://www.campingplatz-warenthin.com/ ========== FACTS ========== ROUTE: Neustrelitz > Useriner See > Giesenschlagsee > Rheinsberg LEVEL: Intermediate to Experienced DISTANCE: 50ish kms MEETING POINT: 08:15 - Berlin Südkreuz ========== FACTS ========== ========= DETAILS ========= **IMPORTANT:** This is a 2-day tour and the idea is to cycle out there, have a delicious Dinner and cycle back TOGETHER! So please check your accomodation (or tent) before you confirm. The restaurant does offer vegetarian options but maybe no vegan (please check yourself if you prefer that). **ROUTE:** This is the yearly visit to one of the best restaurants in Brandenburg, the Seehof Rheinsberg, [www.seehof-rheinsberg.de](http://www.seehof-rheinsberg.de/) A place certainly not to be missed! Due to the ongoing fire in the Müritz nature reserve it was not clear if we could pass the originally planned route. So we will start in Neustrelitz this time and cycle "downhill", ar least mapwise.! Cycling on a relaxed route right after 10 km is the first option for a swim in the Useriner See. After that it is mainly quiet, peaceful and green (aka forrest paths). Passing the Fleether Mühle 18 km later there is a chance for a coffee and after 2 more km a last chance for a swim in the crystal clear Giesenschlagsee. From there we head the remaining 17km straight to the restaurant where we're awaited for a most delicious dinner at the Seehof Rheinsberg at around 18:00. All in all this is planned to be a relaxed tour but being there at Dinner time requires to not forget time at all. **SPEED:** Leisurely around 14 km/h, at least if the wind doesn't come from the front. This is like "Being able to see the details on the side of the road and enjoying the view in general… and have a chat." **DISTANCE AND TERRAIN:** This is an about 50ish km ride, with mainly solid but also some forrest or soft ground. In general: Bikes with thin tyres (Race bikes, Road bikes, Fixies), rented bikes (Uber, Swapfiets) or any special bikes (Folding bikes, BMX etc.) are not suitable! You won't have fun, trust me! And if you want to bring Kids or Animals please get in touch before! **MEETING POINT:** 08:15 - Berlin Südkreuz, platform 4 for RE5 to Rostock I have a blue Villiger Trekking bike. **TICKET:** From Berlin to Neustrelotz it is 30,- EUR regular. I'd buy a Berlin-Brandenburg-Ticket (36,50) and invite the first 4 people who get in touch to join me on that ticket. Please bring cash! All others: please feel free to organise your own Ticket/BBT. And don't forget a Bike ticket. **WAY OUT:** 08:34 - dep. Berlin Südkreuz, RE 5, platform 4 09:59 - arr. Neustrelitz Feel free to hop in at any other station (I'd highly recommend not to try Gesundbrunnen, except you're short of coffee and need some extra excitment in the morning). **WAY BACK:** In case you really want to go back ;-) 20:50 - dep. Rheinsberg 22:18 - arr. Berlin Lichtenberg **RECOMMENDATIONS:** Check the train schedule in the morning! The DB loves to stir up the plans by changing trains on short notice! If anything happens the Meeting point is the starting point of the cycling. Communication is taking place in the WA channel. Join here: https://hub.keinezeitfuerarbeit.de/join-community While we'll stop somewhere for a snack and/or coffee please always bring some drinks along! And, PLEASE make sure your bike is in a proper state! Check your tyre pressure and oil the chain! Does your light work? Having a toolset is highly recommended and a spare inner tube to fix a flat tyre a big plus! While we might be able to help in some circumstances please think about what happens if we can't! Thank you! Bringing special equipment (Helmet, safety vest etc.) is NOT required but welcome if you feel more safe using it. Last but not least: In case you need special medical treatment please make me aware of that upfront. Even if everyone is responsible for themselves I'd like to be able to handle it if necessary. ========= DETAILS =========

BrowserStack QA In-Person meetup

BrowserStack QA In-Person meetup

Thu, Aug 6, 2:30 PM
From BrowserStack meetup group Berlin
4.6

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping quality assurance from two distinct angles: automating everyday testing workflows, and forcing us to rethink how we validate non-deterministic AI systems. Join us in Berlin for an evening of practical, hype-free technical sessions. We'll explore how modern QA teams are using intelligent automation to speed up pipelines, as well as how to test AI systems themselves when traditional pass/fail assertions no longer apply. ### **Featured Sessions** #### **Session 1: AI Meets QA — Testing With AI, Testing Of AI** * **Speaker:** **Prasanth Babu Bala** \| *DevOps Engineer - AI at Cerebrone.ai* * **The Focus:** A balanced, practical look at both sides of AI in quality assurance: * **Testing WITH AI:** Accelerating test cases, auto-healing broken locators, and catching bugs faster. * **Testing OF AI:** Evaluating non-deterministic systems, handling model drift, and building validation frameworks where there is no single "correct" output. #### **Session 2: Testing's Future — QA Meets AI** * **Speaker:** **Shweta Verma** * **The Focus:** An exploration of how artificial intelligence is transforming modern test architecture. Discover what's next in intelligent automation, smarter test strategies, and how QA roles are evolving in the AI era. ### **Agenda** * **4:30 PM – 5:00 PM \| Welcome & Networking** * Grab a drink, settle in, and connect with peers before we kick off. * **5:00 PM – 6:30 PM \| Featured Talks** * *Speakers:* Prasanth Babu Bala & Shweta Verma * Presentation sessions exploring smarter test strategies, self-healing automation, and the practical realities of testing AI systems. * **6:30 PM – 7:00 PM \| Panel Q&A** * Open floor to ask our speakers your burning questions about QA, DevOps, and AI. * **7:00 PM – 7:30 PM \| Networking** * Stick around to dive deeper into the topics and chat with speakers and attendees over food and drinks. * **7:30 PM – 8:00 PM \| Wrap Up & Closing** * Final remarks and closing notes. ### **Event Details** * **Format:** In-Person Meetup * **Date:** Thursday, August 6th, 2026 * **Location:** *Delivery Hero Office, Berlin* * **Perks:** Technical talks, live Q&A, networking, food, and drinks. >

Urban hike: Glienicke castle and Babelsberg castle

Urban hike: Glienicke castle and Babelsberg castle

Sun, Aug 2, 8:10 AM
From Queer Hiking Berlin

Hi everyone! I hope no-one in the group was affected by the events at the CSD last night. So sad. I wanted to revive the cancelled hike due to the heat a month ago. I know it is a bit short notice, but I want to give it a shot and just get some steps done. As announced before, in addition to lakes and forests, we'll explore some of the area's most beautiful architecture and cultural landmarks: Glienicke Palace, Babelsberg Palace, and the famous Glienicke Bridge, where spies were exchanged during the Cold War. We'll start at Glienicke Palace and take some time to admire the grounds before crossing the bridge into Potsdam. From there, we'll continue through the Neuer Garten along Heiliger See, then make our way through parts of Potsdam to reach the Staudengarten on Freundschaftsinsel (Friendship Island – a fitting destination for a hiking group!). After crossing the Havel once again, we'll follow the riverside towards Babelsberg Palace. From Babelsberg, we'll head to Klein Glienicke, an intriguing historical site with a unique Cold War history, before returning to Glienicke Palace. From there, we'll take a bus back towards Potsdam or Wannsee and make our way back to Berlin. The hike is approximately 12 km long and should take around 3 hours, depending on how much time we spend exploring the palaces and their surroundings. We will meet at 10:10 AM on the S1/S2 platform (lower level) at Friedrichstraße station and take the next S1 train towards Wannsee. From Wannsee, we'll continue by bus to Glienicke Palace. Please bring enough water, snacks, and anything else you might need for a comfortable walk. We'll likely have opportunities to sit in a park and enjoy the views of the Havel, the palaces, and the surrounding landscape. I'll be wearing a pink cap, so keep an eye out for a tall person in a pink cap! See you on the trail and let's hope the weather is playing along this time! Check out our Instagram: @queerhikesberlin
