Starry sky oho!: The 10 largest star parks in Germany

A star park is an area considered ideal for stargazing due to its particularly low level of light pollution and the high quality of the night sky. These parks are often certified by the International Dark Sky Association (IDA), which works worldwide to protect the dark and promote astronomy. In a star park, visitors can experience the sky in all its glory: from the Milky Way and numerous constellations to meteorites and sometimes even the Northern Lights. In addition to clear views of the night sky, star parks often also offer special programs and events such as guided night walks or astronomy evenings.
