Lights out. Lights on.
Scattered around the national park, the "SternenBlicke" observation points are located precisely where you’re guaranteed an unobstructed view of the night sky.
They’re easily accessible and, with on-site information and exciting installations, invite you to discover the fascination of the night sky for yourself in the Eifel Star Landscape. There are three such observation points in the Rureifel region.
SternenBlick in Monschau-Höfen: "Night owls"
SternenBlick in Heimbach: "Cosmic energy"
SternenBlick in Nideggen-Schmidt: "Night nature"
