Timeline

  1. 16:16

    Jan Kruis

    Grab a coffee and settle in at Jan Kruis. It is just a short walk from the start point and opens early enough for a pre-sunset caffeine fix.

  2. 16:36

    Liggend

    Walk to Liggend. The bronze sculpture of a reclining woman is best seen in the late afternoon light. Arrive with enough time to find a good angle before the sun dips low.

  3. 16:56

    Liggend

    Watch the golden light hit the sculpture as the sun sets toward the SW. The warm tone enhances the bronze texture.

  4. 17:11

    Chiang Mai

    End the evening with dinner at Chiang Mai. This Thai restaurant is open late and offers a relaxed atmosphere to unwind after the walk.

Local tip

The sun sets toward the SW. Position yourself so the light hits the sculpture from the side or front for the best effect.
