Pickwicks

Pickwicks Christmas Brunch
2024-12-14 10:00 - 14:00 (Europe/Berlin) | Bar Celona, Holzgraben 31, Frankfurt, 60313, Germany
This year, by way of an experiment, Pickwicks’ pre-Christmas get-together will be a less formal event, in the form of a Saturday brunch. It leaves time afterwards for Christmas shopping, a visit to Frankfurt’s Christmas market, or to a museum, and the evening is still free for other seasonal commitments.
We meet at Bar Celona, Holzgraben 31, very close to Hauptwache, which is convenient for both U-Bahn and S-Bahn. For those coming by car, the nearest multi-storey car park is Parkhaus Hauptwache nearby, Kornmarkt 10.
Bar Celona offers an all-you-can-eat buffet for a very reasonable €14.95, with drinks extra. We have a separate area to ourselves at the back of the café. (There is good reason to think that Santa will make his usual welcome appearance!)
We have reserved from 10 a.m., and people should be there by 11 a.m., to ensure that no-one else is allocated the seats. Brunch ends at 2 p.m., but people can stay after that if they wish to.
Please only sign up if you really intend to come, and if there are serious grounds for cancelling, please let us know. The sign-up deadline is 30 November, so please register soon to avoid disappointment.

Evening tour of Kronberg
2024-11-17 17:30 - 21:00
Dear Pickwicks,
That’s something really interesting and appealing, what I’m offering you now – Kronberg!
It’s a city-tour of Kronberg wich will take place in the night of November 17th (Sunday), starting at 18:00, the guides wearing Middle-Age costumes and lanterns fitting to their costumes.
Kronberg is in itself a city of tales.
It’s a jewel of Taunus! Its old houses, its castle, its mountains and nature and the whole atmosphere draws you to the glorious antique times of the city. Times which one can feel by all occasions while being there.
We’ll meet up at the S4 terminus in Kronberg at 17:30.
The price for the tour is €7.00. The tour will be for one hour and in German.
After the tour I’m suggesting you a meal in a restaurant nearby, actually a pizzeria. As I have to reserve, please let me know if you’d like to try the pizzeria as well.
I’m looking forward for your answers up to 14th November.
Cheers,
Valeria

After a long break, Pickwicks is back in the Taunus for another adventure!
The walk will take us from Kronberg station to the Hardtbergturm. As a reward for climbing to the top of the hill, this futuristic new structure offers a beautiful view of the area from its 27 metre high platform. After the descent, the next reward is lunch at La Fattoria in Kronthal. From here it’s an easy 30-minute walk back to Kronberg.
The details:
Meeting point 1:

Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof
Platform 104 (underground)
09:50, to catch the S4 at 09:59

(As everyone seems to have a pensioner’s ticket or DeutschlandTicket these days, we won’t bother with group tickets any more; please get your own ticket to Kronberg).
Meeting point 2:

Kronberg station
10:20

Trains from Kronberg back to Frankfurt run every 30 minutes; we will try to catch the S-Bahn at 16:08.
The total walking time is 3 hours, with some moderate ups and downs. It’s summer, but the weather is rather unpredictable at the moment, so please bring plenty of water to drink and protection from the rain.
If this sounds interesting, please use the “Sign Up” button below by Wednesday 24 July and indicate where you would like to meet the group!

As in previous years, the Klassiknacht in Weiß will take place as part of the Bad Homburger Sommer on July 21 from 5:30 p.m.: a concert + picnic at the Kaiser-Wilhelms-Bad, where the dress code is white.
This event is organized in cooperation with the French and the Italian round tables (and possibly others).
To participate, you must purchase (as early as possible, as places are limited) an entry ticket. The price is very moderate: €5.80.
Click here for more information and instructions.
Each participant will bring what they need for the picnic as well as seats (generally a – rather limited – number of benches is available to the participants). It is therefore recommended to arrive before opening time to enter first and reserve these benches.
Please let us know if you are coming so that we can try to reserve a place for our group (each person will have to buy their ticket as soon as possible).
