Slovakia's Poloniny Dark-Sky Park is the first dark sky park in Slovakia. It became the 20th dark sky park in the world. Natural total night darkness, which would be unaffected by artificial light, no longer exists in Slovakia because of light pollution, but there are still places where this influence is minimal. East Slovakia with its Carpathian Wooden Churches (UNESCO World Heritage Site) consists of nine wooden religious buildings constructed between the 16th and 18th centuries in eight different locations in Slovakia and most of them can be found in wonderfully dark places with minimal light pollution, so beautiful #MilkyWay and spectacular #NightSky can be seen and captured there too. UNESCO World Heritage Site - Castle of Spiš is the largest medieval castle compound in central Europe along with the little town of Spišské Podhradie (with typical Renaissance and Baroque burgher houses), the Church town of Spišská Kapitula (including several sacral monuments and above all the impressing two tower cathedral of St Martin). Well conserved monuments along with the charming natural setting of the travertine territory of the National Nature Reserve Dreveník forms a unique whole and all of that is part of this night sky timelapse together with Ľubovňa Castle - Ľubovniansky hrad - Historical castle built at turn of 13th & 14th century on limestone cliff of 711 m over Stará Ľubovňa town & iconic Trencin castle.
