Such a place is the Poloniny National Park, which is in terms of light pollution the darkest area in Slovakia.
Therefore, the Slovak Union of Astronomers started an initiative to establish a dark sky park there.
Poloniny Dark-Sky Park is located in the northeast of the Slovak Republic on the border with Poland and Ukraine.
Selected areas of the park are included into Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It was established on the occasion of the International Year of Biodiversity 2010 as the first dark sky area in Slovakia.
