Restaurant Heilig-Geist-Spital
Sit by the Pegnitz river in the historic dining room of Restaurant Heilig-Geist-Spital. Order a warm drink or light bite. The open windows face west, offering a preview of the coming view.
16:18
Walk to the Museum of Industrial Culture. It closes at 16:00, which is 15 minutes before sunset. Use this time to briefly look at the old screw factory exhibits or simply stand in the courtyard as the golden light hits the brickwork.
16:43
Head to St Lawrence Church. Position yourself inside to look out toward the WSW. The sun sets precisely in that direction at 16:43. The 18m tall Tabernacl inside frames the western light beautifully.
Local tip
The Museum of Industrial Culture closes at 16:00 on weekdays. If you arrive after 16:00, skip the museum interior and walk straight from your drink to the church to catch the sunset without rushing.
