Big light 2025: Where you can experience the spectacular lights!

For 2025 astronomers predict a variety of northern nights in Germany, which is due to the highlight of the sun cycle this year. The viewing of the Aurora borealis is therefore not only a matter of luck, but can also be planned in a targeted manner. According to Image Camping travel provider Paul Camper creates a ranking of dark places that are particularly suitable for observing northern lights.

This analysis has been based on the evaluation of the Polar lighting sightings since 2000 at 25 locations in Germany and takes into account factors such as light pollution and weather conditions. The recommended places for the Northern Lights Supervisory Affairs include:

  • Nordfriesland, northern Wadden Sea
  • Western Pomerania, island of Rügen
  • Lüneburger Heide
  • Ostfriesland, Spiekeroog
  • Nordfriesland, Pellworm
  • Black Forest, Feldberg
  • Niederbayern, National Park Bavarian Forest
  • Region Hannover, Wendland
  • Mecklenburg Seenplatte
  • Lausitz, Spreewald

Dark places for aurora views

The Wadden Sea, especially Pellworm and Spiekeroog, are particularly dark places, which are about 100 locations worldwide with very low light pollution. With around 44% cloudless nights, the Rügen Baltic Sea island offers an ideal prerequisite for sightings. Also in the German low mountain ranges such as the Feldberg (Black Forest), the Bavarian Forest, the Rhön, the Harz, the Swabian Alb, the Fichtelgebirge and the Eifel can also be found.

The best chances of the Northern Lights In Germany are expected between September and March 2025, with the highest probability between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m., provided the conditions are cloudless.
