    Chapel of Förhénc

    Walk to the Chapel of Förhénc. Find a quiet spot in the churchyard or just outside the entrance to settle in. The stone crucifix and the 1860s fresco fragments will be visible in the fading light.

    Chapel of Förhénc

    Watch the sunset. On 15 January the sun sets at 16:31 toward the WSW. The golden light will have started around 15:42, casting a warm glow on the chapel's segmental arched sanctuary and tower.

  4. 17:16

    End your evening by heading back into the town center for a late dinner or a nightcap. The area around Palin is residential, so you will need to check local transport options to return to the main town.

Local tip

The chapel is a free-standing structure. The view is best from the churchyard where you can see the frescoes by László Takács in the sanctuary apse as the light changes.

Check before you go

  • Verify the opening hours of any local food shops in Palin, as the chapel itself has no listed opening hours but is a public outdoor space.
  • Sunset times vary by season. The 16:31 sunset is for 15 January. In summer (July), sunset is much later at 20:41, so adjust your start time accordingly.
