Where to stand

Stand on a public beach or a jetty in Charzykowy and look north over the lake. Move away from the shoreline lamps and lit resorts. In bigger storms, from Kp 6, the aurora will show above the far shore.

View towards the pole

Lake Charzykowskie to the north, several kilometres of water

Sky darkness (Bortle scale): 4

Rules and safety

The national park has its own rules: keep to the marked roads and trails, and the park directorate sets the opening hours. Do not enter the forest at night and stay on the public beach.

About the spot

Charzykowy sits on Lake Charzykowskie, next to Tuchola Forest National Park, at about 53.74° N. The lake stretches north from the village, so you get several kilometres of water with no buildings. The glow of Chojnice is to the south-east, behind you.

Do not miss the next window

The best windows last a few hours: after a storm, after rain, on a clear night with an active Sun. Sign up and we will email you when the index at your spots goes above 60.
