Drebach Observatory, Public observatory and planetarium in Drebach, Germany.
Drebach Observatory is a public stargazing facility with planetarium shows located in the Ore Mountains. The site features a large telescope and a domed projection space where visitors watch presentations about stars, planets, and space exploration.
The facility opened in 1969 and was established as a center for astronomy and science education in Saxony. Since then, it has developed as an educational institution serving the region.
The facility presents regular astronomy programs, music performances, and specialized shows that combine educational content with planetary projections across a 200-square-meter dome.
Visitors can attend the observatory on clear evenings when the telescope and planetarium shows are accessible. Warm clothing is recommended, especially if you stand on the observation platform outside the dome.
Near the observatory, a hiking trail runs through the mountain landscape and connects several astronomical stations along the route. This path lets visitors explore astronomy in the natural environment.
