Pick up a warm pastry or coffee to keep you going in the chill.

Stand on the Heiliger Steige at Kreuzbergkirche as the sun breaks over the horizon to the WSW. The baroque church and the staircase are illuminated by the first golden light.

Walk back to Bäckerei Voigt to sit down and enjoy your breakfast with a hot drink while the morning light settles in.
Local tip
The church opens at 09:00 in winter, but the Heiliger Steige is accessible for the sunrise view. Bäckerei Voigt opens at 07:30 on Sundays, so this plan works perfectly for a Sunday morning. On weekdays, they open at 07:00, which is also early enough for a post-sunrise treat.
