Timeline
14:07
Grab a quick takeaway dinner from Kroathai. The service is usually fast, and portions are manageable for a walk. If it is full, take-out is a reliable plan B.
15:07
Walk up to Damsgårdsfjellet. The mountain is 284 metres tall and lies west of the city center. Find a spot with a clear view toward the southwest, where the sun sets on this date.
16:07
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the SW at 16:07. The golden light starts about an hour before, so you will have time to settle in and enjoy the view as the sky changes color.
16:52
Head down to Bien bar. This neighborhood pub was formerly a pharmacy, with wooden drawers still lining the walls. It is open until 01:30 on weekdays, so it is a perfect place to warm up and reflect on the walk.
Local tip
The walk from Kroathai to the mountain is about 10 minutes, and the climb itself is steep but short. Bien bar is a 12-minute walk from the starting area, making it an easy end to the evening.
