Timeline
15:13
Pick up a coffee and a fresh pastry at Der Bäcker Feihl. It is open until 19:00 on weekdays in January, giving you plenty of time before the sun goes down.
15:50
Walk to the Zeltnerschloss. It is a former manor house that can only be viewed from the outside. Use the extra time to scout the best angle for the evening light hitting the old stone.
16:27
Head to Hildes Backwut for a quick refill or a sweet treat. The bakery is open until 18:00 on weekdays, so you can grab something just as the golden hour begins.
16:43
Stand at St Lawrence Church. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting a warm glow on the 15th-century facade. This is the peak moment for the view.
17:13
Restaurant Heilig-Geist-Spital
End the evening at Restaurant Heilig-Geist-Spital. Sit in the historic dining room over the river Pegnitz. It is open until 23:00, offering a calm place to digest the view.
Local tip
The walk between the bakery and the church is short but involves navigating the old town streets. Keep an eye on the light as the sun drops quickly in winter.
