Starry theme trail in Markovci

 

Goričko Nature Park, with its many sunny days, clear nights, and low levels of light pollution, offers an exceptional setting for stargazing. Thanks to its dark skies, the stars here shine brighter than almost anywhere else. Even the Milky Way reveals itself in all its glory across the night sky.

Goričko under the Stars offers unforgettable experiences of night sky observation, sleeping in unique star-themed accommodations, and learning about astronomy along the Star Learning Trail. These astro-tourism experiences are made possible by a network of providers across Goričko, united under the partnership Goričko under the Stars.

Discover Goričko under the Stars on your own or during a guided tour. You’ll learn to recognize the most prominent constellations through mythological stories and, with the help of modern telescopes, get a close-up view of planets in our solar system, nebulae, and galaxies located thousands of light-years away. Special reclining chairs provide comfort during observation.

Take a walk along the Star Learning Trail in Markovci, which begins at the Peterloug Youth Centre, and explore the wonders of Goričko under the stars. In the company of a guide and with the help of cutting-edge technology, you’ll be introduced to the basics of physics and astronomy.
