On clear nights there is a lot to discover!
The small Rainer Ludwig Observatory in Medebach exists on private initiative. Nevertheless, it can be visited for guided tours of the starry sky.
A visit to the observatory makes most sense around the time of the new moon, as the dark nights then allow to look especially far into the universe. In addition, a visit to the observatory requires clear observing weather because, unlike planetariums, you can experience the night sky "live" here.
