Grab a coffee and a slice of cake at Café Wien. The traditional café is open until 17:30, so you have plenty of time to settle in before heading out.

Walk four minutes to the Leaning House. Arrive just before the golden hour begins to explore the interior of the 1680 watermill and find your spot by the window or the entrance.
16:35
Watch the sunset. On 15 January, the sun sets toward the SW around 16:35, casting a warm glow on the timber-framed facade as the light fades.
17:00
End the evening with dinner at Ratskeller. The historic cellar restaurant is open daily from 11:30 in April through October, offering a quiet atmosphere for a special meal.
Local tip
The mill stream that once powered the building is no longer visible, but the subsidence of the structure is still obvious. Check the opening hours for Ratskeller if visiting outside the April to October window, as they vary.
