This star hike starts in the middle of the twilight, shortly after sunset. The meeting point is the Ludlalm car park. It is particularly impressive to see how the sky gets darker and darker above your heads and more and more stars gradually appear in the firmament. The star hikes in summer provide a view of the particularly bright and detailed center of our Milky Way. You will even be able to admire the largest planet in our solar system, Jupiter, with the naked eye.
