A chance to see the Northern Lights in Alsace tonight
The Northern Lights are spectacular natural phenomena that light up the night sky. Last night, these beautiful colored lights were observed in several regions of France, including Alsace. And good news, if you missed this enchanting spectacle, you have a second chance tonight!
Choose a spot far from light pollution
If you want to observe the Northern Lights, it is best to go to a location away from any light pollution. This will maximize your chances of seeing this fascinating phenomenon. Even being in the city, it is possible to see the Northern Lights if their intensity is sufficient. However, the further north you go in Alsace, the greater your chances of observing them will be.
Two spots near Strasbourg for optimal viewing
If you are in Strasbourg or the surrounding area, here are two spots that offer good conditions for observing the Northern Lights:
1. The Nordheim transmitter hill: Located near Strasbourg, this hill offers you a relatively open area that is shielded from the city’s lights thanks to its relief.
2. The CINE (Nature and Environment Initiation Center) in Bussierre: Less far from Strasbourg, this place has large fields oriented towards the north. Additionally, the forest of the Pourtalès park masks the city lights, making it ideal for observing the Northern Lights.
Don’t forget to check the forecasts and prepare for a night of observation. It is recommended to bring warm clothing, a flashlight, and possibly a camera to capture these magical moments.
Take advantage of this opportunity to marvel at the Northern Lights, a dazzling natural spectacle that illuminates the night sky in Alsace.
