Titled Dark Sky Park, Lauwersmeer National Park is one of the darkest places on earth. Here you can experience nature in complete darkness. There are only 41 of these parks …

Boards can be folded down on the platform of the tower. There you can lie down with your upper body to be able to watch the stars more comfortably in the dark.

During the day you have an excellent view over the Southern Lauwersmeer. At night you have a beautiful view of the night sky here (one of the 8 darkest points in the world).
