Description

The “Starpark Hohe Dirn” is a mountain site within the Kalkalpen nature park in Upper Austria. Because of the challenging terrain of these Alpine foothills, it is one of the darkest regions remaining in continental Europe. Additionally, its altitude of 1105m make it especially well-suited for astronomy during autumn, when lower regions are often plagued by fog.

Since 2017 three private observatories were built, two of those can be seen in the foreground.
