Bükk Observatory

The sky is especially starry in Répáshuta. The Bükk National Park, where the village is located, was awarded as Dark Sky Park in 2017, as a result of this the public lighting of the village was changed to amber to reduce light pollution.
In the visitor center we can learn a lot about the stars, the space research, the types and life of the stars and the invisible features of our Sun. In addition to a permanent interactive exhibition you can see a meteorite collection (lunar and Martian meteorites), you can take a 5D journey in space, from the 3D planetarium you can watch the sky in good and bad weather, too. The Planet Tour trail starts next to the observatory, where you can get to know the natural, geological and cultural-historical values of the area during a 4 km and 2-hour tour, and it also includes an expiring Solar System model.
