Timeline
14:00
Sit down for a slice of Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte at Café Anton. It is a local favourite for its cakes, which are reportedly better than those in Germany. The cafe is open from 06:30 to 19:00, so it is the perfect spot for an early afternoon break.
14:45
Walk 13 minutes west-southwest from the station to Strand Beach. This is a quiet spot to stretch your legs and feel the coastal breeze. The beach is open all day, making it a safe bet for a mid-afternoon stroll.
15:15
Head 13 minutes north-northeast to Municipality Garden. This park offers a peaceful green space near the historic buildings. It is a calm place to rest before heading back or finding dinner.
Local tip
The walk between the station and the beach is short and straightforward. If you prefer shopping over parks, you could swap the garden stop for a browse in the Brauhaus Arcade (9 mins walk) or Leder Chic (8 mins walk) before the beach.
Check before you go
- Café Anton is open 06:30-19:00.
- Leder Chic is open 09:00-18:00 if you choose to visit that shop instead of the garden.
