Thousands of stars twinkle in the firmament, the Milky Way stretches as a white band across the sky and, with a bit of luck, a shooting star flashes - mysterious and magical at the same time.

The sparse population of the Rhön and the resulting low light pollution make it possible to enjoy the beauty of the starry sky. As a result, stars are even visible here that have long since disappeared from the night sky in many other regions. This is why the UNESCO Rhön Biosphere Reserve was designated an International Star Park by the Dark Sky Association in 2014.

To make the night really enjoyable, the Rhön Star Park offers activities such as a night picnic. There are also special celestial sites and astronomical tours - by day and by night. This allows you to experience the silence and fascination of the night in a very special way.
