A dark site far from urban lighting.
Field base / A night in the forest
Silence. Forest. The entire sky.
The lookout stands beside the ruins of the 1929 observatory. It is neither a hotel nor glamping, but an authentic night deep in the forest for those seeking true darkness, calm and stars.

Woodland above Telnice, directly beside the historic site.
01 / Experience
A night between history and the stars.
When conditions permit, a stay can include a private astronomy session and a presentation of the PRIM watch that reached the stratosphere during the ‘PRIM into Space’ project.
The journey can begin on the historic Kozí dráha railway, aboard the local train running between Děčín and Oldřichov u Duchcova.
02 / Before you arrive
An adventure without hotel scenery.
Access is uphill over uneven forest terrain. Sturdy footwear and reasonable fitness are recommended. After dark the area is completely unlit, so guests receive two torches.
The nearest toilet is at Penzion U Zeleného stromu, approximately 900 metres away on foot. Snow can make access harder in winter. The reward is genuine solitude, the sounds of the forest and a sky free of intrusive lights.
