Timeline

  1. 16:03

    Municipal Mill

    Stand by the Municipal Mill on the river Böhme. This listed building has stood since 1384. Watch the light change on the water as the sun sets toward the SW.

  2. 16:23

    Böhme Park

    Walk north into Böhme Park. The river runs straight through it. Find a spot to sit and watch the final moments of daylight over the water.

  3. 16:53

    Café Chocolat

    Head to the modern café on the outskirts of the park. Order a hot chocolate or coffee and a cake. It is open 24/7, so it is the perfect place to stay warm after the sun has gone.

  4. 17:33

    Bierhaus Milljö

    Walk two minutes to Bierhaus Milljö. It is a small German bar with a small area to sit outside. It opens at 16:00 on weekdays, so it is open for your evening drink.

Local tip

The Municipal Mill has been empty since 1963, but the river view remains constant. Bierhaus Milljö is open from 16:00 on weekdays, so you can arrive for the sunset and stay for a beer without worrying about closing time.

Check before you go

  • Bierhaus Milljö opens at 16:00 on Sun-Fri. If you are visiting on a Saturday, it opens at 11:00.
  • Café Chocolat is open 24/7, so you do not need to check opening hours for the coffee stop.
