Experience the darkness of West-Terschelling with Staatsbosbeheer

Terschelling is one of the darkest areas in the Netherlands. It is no coincidence that the Netherlands' first Dark Sky Park can be found on this island. You can experience the darkness of the night all over the island, even under the light of the Brandaris lighthouse. The Staatsbosbeheer nature guide will take you along to discover the darkness of West-Terschelling for yourself. After a short introduction, you will set off on foot for a 1.5-hour walk. As your eyes slowly adjust to the dark, your senses become sharper. Listen to the sounds of the night and hear fascinating stories about this area. In clear weather, you will see the starry sky. Join us and discover the darkness of the island in West-Terschelling. During the summer months, the nights are short and it does not get completely dark. During this period, you will experience the onset of darkness together with the guide.

Mooi, zo’n uitnodiging om in het donker te zijn

Het was een leuke wandeling met tussenstops voor uitleg. Echt donker is het niet zo vlakbij West en de Brandaris maar mooi is het wel. Zeker met die warmtekijker die de gids meenam.

Ondanks de regen een mooie ervaring met een fijne gids

Met 2 meiden van 13 en 16 een heel leuke, interessante avond gehad

Gids met kennis en ervaring

Lenie kan prachtig vertellen en heeft veel kennis. Het weer was erg slecht maar dat gaf ook weer wat extra's. Mooi dat het toch doorging.
