Amazing activities

The hybrid planetarium, where advanced projection technology will project the entire night sky into the dome above your heads, is an unforgettable experience. The unique feeling that you are under a real starry sky is even amplified by the fact, that it is much brighter than the usual night sky that we are used to from our mostly city life. The light pollution greatly affects the city skies but the projection will show you the nature night sky, far away from any light sources.
