What could be more beautiful than stargazing in the darkest spot in the Netherlands? Enjoy this unique night on Terschelling. As soon as night falls, we set off with the covered wagon. We drive to the Boschplaat nature reserve, which has been an official Dark Sky Park since 2015. There you can enjoy the darkness undisturbed.

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
  • View 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
  • Feel 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
