Timeline
14:15
Head to Hantwerk in the northern harbour district for an early evening drink. The gastrobar is a great spot to warm up with local beer brewed by Humleland before the cold sets in. It is open from 16:00 on Wednesdays and Thursdays, which fits perfectly with the late afternoon timing.
15:15
Walk from the harbour to the Sea swimming course. This 500-metre-long course marked by yellow and orange buoys is not a typical beach but offers a unique experience. You can walk the short boardwalk or simply enjoy the view of the granite boulders in the water as the light begins to fade.
16:15
Stay at the Sea swimming course for the sunset. The sun sets toward the SW around 16:15. The open water and the line of buoys provide a striking silhouette against the fading light. It is a quiet moment away from the city center crowds.
