Botanical Garden of the University of Wrocław
Walk from the Botanical Garden of the University of Wrocław toward the river. The path is quiet and shaded. You are heading ESE toward the bridge.

Arrive at the Zwierzyniecki bridge. Find a spot on the bank facing WNW. The sun will rise directly behind the bridge structure during the window from 13 Nov to 19 Nov and 23 Jan to 29 Jan.
07:04
Watch the sunrise. The light hits the truss structure as the sun breaks the horizon.

Head back toward the Botanical Garden area for breakfast. Bella Storia is open from 10:00. It is a 10-minute walk from the bridge.
Local tip
The alignment is specific to early morning hours. Arrive with enough time to find a clear view of the bridge against the eastern sky.
Check before you go
- Bella Storia opens at 10:00. If you arrive earlier, consider Przekręt (opens 16:00 Sun, 12:00 Sat, 10:00 weekdays) or Noon (opens 09:00 weekends, 08:00 weekdays) if you need a caffeine fix immediately after sunrise.
Worth knowing
- Sun position is calculated. We have not confirmed the view is unobstructed.
