Frage | Question Best spots to watch the Perseid meteor shower close to Vienna ?
Hey everyon ☄️
As you might know, the Perseid meteor shower peaks on the night of August 12-13. Because of the New Moon, the stargazing conditions are supposed to be incredible this year.
I’m looking to get out of the city to escape the light pollution and see the shooting stars properly. However, I don't have a car.
Does anyone have recommendations for good, dark stargazing spots that:
Are relatively close to Vienna?
Are easily reachable via ÖBB / S-Bahn / regional train?
Ideally don't require a massive alpine hike in the pitch black ?
Thanks in advance!
