Timeline
15:31
Start with a drink at the city's prettiest beer garden. Try the local Gose, a coriander and salt beer that is an acquired taste, usually served with a shot of liquor.
16:01
Walk to the beer garden terrace facing ESE. This spot offers a clear view into the zoo without an entrance fee and frames the large meadow where the sun will set.
16:31
Stay for the sunset at 16:31. The sun sets toward the SW, visible from the terrace as the golden light fades.
17:01
Walk nine minutes to a nearby pub for a post-sunset drink. It is open from 18:00 to 22:00 on weekdays, so arrive just before it opens or after the sunset if you prefer a later start.
17:31
Enjoy the evening atmosphere at the pub. It closes at 22:00 on weekdays, so this is a good spot to wind down.
