    Lenti Park and Wildflower Nature Trail

    Stop at the eastern end of the trail or a clear spot within the park. The sun sets toward the WSW, so you will have the light on your left or behind you as you look back toward the town. The golden light starts at 15:43, giving you about 50 minutes of soft light before the final sunset at 16:32.

    Szent György Energiapark

    End your evening with a stroll to the Szent György Energiapark. It is located 15 minutes south of the memorial area. The park is a key tourist spot and offers a calm environment to wind down after the walk.
