Timeline
17:40
Grab a beer at Hirschau. This beer garden sits at the south end of the Hirschau section of the English Garden. With 1700 seats, it is seldom crowded and not touristy, making it a perfect spot to relax before the main event. The walk from MTTC Iphitos is short, about 3 minutes.
18:10
Walk to Isarinsel Oberföhring. Head south from the English Garden area towards the Isar river. This island park is just a 23-minute walk from the anchor and offers open space to watch the sun go down. The sun sets toward the WSW, providing a clear view of the horizon from this vantage point.
18:40
Dinner at Seerose. After the sun dips below the horizon, head back towards the southern English Garden. Seerose is a cheerful trattoria near the top of the garden with great reviews. It is open until 24:00 on weekdays and weekends, so you have plenty of time to enjoy a meal as the evening cools down.
Local tip
The sun sets toward the WSW on this date. Position yourself on the island facing west for the best view. Hirschau beer garden opens at 12:00 on weekdays and 11:30 on Sundays, so arriving an hour before sunset fits perfectly within its hours.
