    Café Hüller

    Grab a coffee or a glass of wine at Café Hüller. It is just a seven-minute walk from St Maxmilian Church and opens at 12:00, so you have plenty of time to settle in before the light changes.

    St Maxmilian Church

    Walk to St Maxmilian Church. The sun is setting toward the WSW, casting a warm glow on the riverfront. Find a spot on the banks or near the church steps to watch the sky shift color.

  3. 17:02

    Faun

    End the evening with dinner at Faun. It is a six-minute walk from the church and serves affordable Bavarian and international cuisine. The Art Nouveau ceiling adds a touch of elegance to your post-sunset meal.

Local tip

Check that Faun is open for dinner service. If you prefer a beer garden atmosphere, Paulaner am Nockherberg is an option but requires a 15-minute walk and closes at midnight.
