Beskydy Dark Sky Park, Dark sky preserve in Moravian-Silesian Region, Czech Republic and Žilina Region, Slovakia.
The Beskydy Dark Sky Park spans 30,800 hectares across the Czech-Slovak border in the Beskids mountain range, offering natural darkness for astronomical observations.
The establishment of this cross-border dark sky preserve in March 2013 marked an important step in protecting nocturnal environments between Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The park promotes scientific education through regular astronomy events where visitors learn about constellations, planets, and the importance of dark skies.
Visitors can access multiple observation points throughout the park, with the best stargazing conditions occurring during clear nights between September and March.
The protected area maintains specific illumination protocols across two national territories, creating optimal conditions for observing celestial phenomena without light pollution.
