The dark night sky at the location Hohe Dirn allows for a view of the wonders of the heavens that would not be possible near the city and in urban areas.
Not only does it offer mere viewing through the telescope, but also a wealth of astronomical knowledge. In the cozy control room, where one can also see celestial objects live on a large flatscreen, questions on the topic are gladly answered.
