The sun sets toward the WSW at 20:06, but the golden light starts around 19:29. Enjoy the warm glow washing over the fields and the animals as the day winds down.
Local tip
The farm is a bit of a trek from the city center, so give yourself plenty of time to get there. It closes at night, so plan your return trip before it gets too dark.
