Grab a snack and a beer at Entla's Keller. It is one of the best known Kellers during Bergkirchweih and focuses on food as much as beer. The price is reasonable for the quality.

Burgberg garden, including the Heinrich Kirchner sculpture park
Walk up to Burgberg garden. It is a short walk from the festival area. Climb to the viewpoint at the upper end for the best view over the city and the approaching sunset.

End the evening with fresh beer and traditional German food at Steinbach Bräu. It is located in the alleys of the northern part of the city, making it a quiet spot to unwind after the festival crowds.
