Where to stand
Go to the Zselici Csillagpark centre and join a show, or ask about nearby clearings with a good view of the sky. Forest surrounds the area, so open sky is mostly found in the meadows. Check opening times before you travel.
Horizon
Wooded hills; open sky in clearings and meadows
Sky darkness (Bortle scale): 3
Rules
The park lies in a protected area managed by Duna-Dráva National Park, so stay on roads and marked sites. Forest roads are often closed to cars, so check the signs before driving on them.
