The officially recognized Dark Sky Park on the Winklmoos-Alm is the first Dark Sky Park in the Alps and the fourth official Dark Sky Park in Germany.
Dark Sky Parks offer extraordinary nightscapes and extremely low light pollution. Dark Sky Parks preserve the natural darkness of naturally dark areas and protect them as a valuable asset and cultural heritage. The beauty of the starry sky is preserved, as is the habitat for many diurnal and, above all, nocturnal animals.
Star Tours in the Winklmoos-Alm Dark Sky Parks
