The best places for shooting star night 2025

Summer not only brings magic into our lives in daylight, but also the shooting star season of the year, which lasts from 17.07. to 28.08.2025 🌌 The best time to experience them is on the night of 12 to 13.08. - up to 100 per hour! 🌟

You'll see most shooting stars after 2:00 am, but before that is fine too. Even if you miss this special day - let's be honest, many of us can't just go on a huge night out on a random Tuesday - you can drive out of the city on a free weekend to see them!
The important thing is: the place you're in should be as dark as possible. This is difficult in Berlin, but there are still a few places that are suitable. In any case, it makes sense to put your phone away from time to time so that your eyes can get used to the dark💜👀 It also promises even more quality time with your besties or your crush🤭

If you can't drive an extra 3 hours out into the middle of nowhere, here are our favorite spots for snorkelling:

Teufelsberg Berlin

We all know the Teufelsberg, mostly used for dayraves or after-work drinks at sunset. But it's also a great place to enjoy a night of shooting stars. The best way to get there is to take the S9 to Heerstraße, from there it's a half-hour walk to a height of around 120 meters.

Public Space

Drachenberg

The Drachenberg is almost 20 meters lower, but a little quieter and less crowded than the Teufelsberg. Here you have plenty of room and space to take a blanket with you, a few snacks are also a must, and you can make yourself comfortable here too. You can also get off at Heerstraße, which is a 20-minute walk from here.

Public Space

Kienberg

The Kienberg is a real mountain paradise, as a gondola runs here during the day and there is even a summer toboggan run! The mountain in Pankow is also really nice for stargazing. So head to Marzahn-Hellersdorf and get off at the U5 station Kienberg/Gärten der Welt.

Arkenberge

The last mountains on the list are the Arkenberge in Pankow. At the very top in the north, you have all the peace and quiet in the world to watch shooting stars. Depending on where you live in Berlin, it can be a bit of a journey, but you won't have to walk quite as far from the Arkenberge 107 bus station.😁

If you want to enjoy a full load of shooting stars and take a short journey to see them, you can choose one of these places to admire the night sky:

Public Space

Sternenpark Havelland

The Havelland Star Park covers 1380 km² and is home to countless plant and animal species. You can simply arrive at this huge nature reserve yourself, there is no entrance fee and no opening hours. However, for the sake of nature, all visitors must stay on the prepared paths. For nature conservation reasons, camping is only permitted at a campsite in Gülpe, but there are plenty of different accommodation options. You can find more information here.🌳
The journey varies depending on where exactly you are going. From the main train station in Berlin to Brandenburg HBF, you need three quarters of an hour with the RE1 - from there there are several connections.

Public Space

Gülpe

The small town in Brandenburg, which is home to around 160 people, is considered the darkest place in Germany. This is precisely why it is particularly popular among astronomy geeks and stargazers for watching the Perseid Night spectacle. The best way to get there is to take the RE4 train from Berlin to Rathenow station. From there, you can take bus 684 directly to Gülpe, which takes around two hours and 45 minutes from the main station in Berlin 🚌

Have fun making wishes and romanticizing life!✨🫂
