Timeline
20:35
Grab a seat at Le Cygne café. It is open until 21:00 on Sundays, so you have plenty of time before sunset. Order a drink and settle in for a relaxed start.
21:10
Walk from the café to the northern beach (Nordstrand) of Cospudener See. The broad sandy shore gives you space to find a spot facing the water.
21:20
Watch the sun dip below the horizon. In mid-July the sunset is at 21:20, casting a warm glow over the lake that was once a lignite mine.
21:50
Head to Black Label pub for a nightcap. It opens at 19:00, so it is fully active and ready for you after the sunset.
