A viewpoint with exceptional conditions for educational observation of the night sky. Its panel describes the animals to be found under starlight, for example the European free-tailed bat, long-eared owl and the cricket. It also talks about the Pleiades and the mythological link between wine and constellations. In addition, four star charts help visitors to recognise the constellations of the sky. It has a signpost pointing to Polaris post, and a wheel-planisphere which helps night-time visitors to locate the circumpolar constellations: the Big Dipper and Cassiopeia.
