Start/finish:
Puur Terschelling, at Oosterend 39

Coffee, tea, lemonade, island pound cake

Puur Terschelling organises Dark Sky covered wagon tours with a Puur astronomer. Experience the magic of the night and the starry sky. We travel to the European nature reserve de Boschplaat on Terschelling; this area received the Dark Sky Park designation in 2015. Here it truly becomes dark. Enjoy the darkness undisturbed, as it once was everywhere on earth. To conclude the covered wagon tour, you'll receive a personal presentation. The Puur astronomer will point out planets, constellations and celestial bodies to you. An evening you won't forget in a hurry!

Dark Sky is more than stargazing:

  • Breathe the pure air
  • See the darkest spots of East Terschelling
  • Climb the Jan Thijssensdune with 360 degree views over the landscape
  • Experience the darkness
  • Observe minimal light pollution
  • Admire the starry sky in clear weather
  • Experience the vastness
  • Enjoy the silence
  • Listen to animal sounds in the island nature
  • Receive a star chart of the sky afterwards
  • Feel the peace and relaxation
