15:53
Pick up a Currywurst. The stand is open from 11:00, so you can grab your snack early and find a spot on the square to eat while the light is still bright.
16:39
Move to the center of Schillerplatz. The historic buildings, including the rococo-style Osteiner Hof, are bathed in the final warm light of the day. Watch the sun dip toward the WSW.
17:13
End the evening in the cavernous ice cellar of Eisgrub-Bräu. They have brewed their own beer since 1872, and the atmosphere is best experienced after the sun has set.
Local tip
Check the opening hours for Eisgrub-Bräu to ensure the kitchen is still serving if you plan to eat before your drink. The square is a central hub, so expect some foot traffic.
