Astronomie-Werkstatt "Sterne ohne Grenzen"

Schleiden

The observatory of the "Sterne ohne Grenzen" astronomy workshop, located at the International Platz Vogelsang (IP) in the heart of the Eifel National Park—a designated "Star Park"—regularly offers public stargazing events.

High-performance telescopes and wide-field binoculars are available; they are situated in the heart of nature and offer a view of the entire starry sky.

The observatory grounds are not a public space; the observatory is secured by an alarm system and monitored by a security service.


The observatory is a partner organization of the “Nordeifel—Sustainable Travel Destination” initiative.

Erftquelle

The "Erft" rises in the small village of Holzmülheim, directly below the Himberg. It flows from here in the direction of Bad Münstereifel until it flows into the Rhine after about 100 km near Neuss. The spring was framed with natural stones by the village community.There is also a small statue of St. John Nepomuk, who is venerated as a bridge saint and is supposed to protect against water hazards. In the immediate vicinity is a playground, where there are also barbecue facilities and a lawn for sunbathing. At events at the spring, there is the possibility of being baptised in the Erft and receiving the title of "Erft cadet".
