Walk 5 minutes to Krakus Mound. This artificial mound is the perfect vantage point. Arrive with half an hour to spare to find your spot and settle in before the golden light hits.

Watch the sunset. On 15 January, the sun sets at 16:06 toward the WSW, casting a warm glow over the landscape.

Walk 14 minutes to Tinctura for a dinner or a late snack. It is an Italian restaurant open until 22:00, providing a warm place to end the evening after the cold air.
Local tip
The walk from the patisserie to the mound is short and easy. If you prefer a drink instead of food after the sunset, Galax Hookah is open until 03:00, but Tinctura offers a more relaxed end to the night.
