Zselici Star Park

Hungary

Zselici Star Park is for a quarter of an hour away from Kaposvar. As part of Zselic Landscape Park, the Park of Stars was awarded the International Dark Sky Park status in 2009 (first in Europe together with Galloway Park, Scotland). 

Facilities at the park include an observatory building, a lookout tower and five rest spots. Besides being an observatory the main building serves as a starting point for stargazing tours and hosts exhibitions, educational sessions and events on the science of astronomy and local values of nature. Its homogeneous wooden façade design assures perfect harmony with its natural environment. The park outside the building with constellations and a sun dial made of logs is a great thematic introduction to the local experiences.
