Izerski Park of the Dark Sky - the first park of this type in Poland
Izerski Park of the Dark Sky - the first park of this type in Poland
Explore one of the darkest corners of our planet. This is a place where light pollution does not reach, where the night darkness is protected. The perfect place for all kinds of astronomical observations.
Izerski Park Dark Sky is the first in Poland and the first in the world cross-border park of this type. It is located in the Polish-Czech Jizera Mountains. As one of the few places on earth, it allows for such detailed observation of the sky at night. In the Jizera Mountains, the visibility of stars is as much as 40 times greater than in large cities, and the park is located among the peaks of the mountains in a sparsely populated area.
The sky above the park after dusk shows everything that the day hides from us. You can see the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy, galaxies, star clusters, nebulae, sometimes even shooting stars or meteors.
The Izera Dark Sky Park is located in the Jizera ad Jizerka valleys and covers an area of 75 km2.
