Black Sun tour in own car
Møllehusvej 2C, 6270 Tønder
GUIDED BLACK SUN IN OWN CAR We have a very high success rate when it comes to seeing the beautiful ballet of the starlings. The starlings move and it can be difficult to find them on your own. Of course, we can not give a guarantee that you will see Black Sun, but almost. Our experienced guide will tell you about the starlings, birds of prey and the beautiful landscape in the middle of it, and the Pumping Station's exhibition explains the ingenious system of sluices, dykes, canals and pumping stations. The tour is suitable for people with walking difficulties who find it difficult to get on a bus, dog owners who would like to have the dog in the car during the trip and for families with children who have the opportunity to ride directly on this tour when the starlings have calmed down.
Venue; P.place at Lægan Pumping Station, Møllehusvej 2C 6270 Tønder

**WHAT IS BLACK SUN? ** Black Sun is a truly unique natural phenomenon that can be seen in spring and autumn, when starlings on the move gather in large flocks for the night. Especially in Tøndermarsken in southwestern Denmark. Just before the starlings descend into the reed forest for the night, the large flocks form patterns in the sky that nearly eclipse the sun, hence the name black sun. Black sun can also be experienced outside the marshes, but not to such a pronounced degree. The phenomenon, which lasts for about an hour, usually ends no later than twenty minutes after sunset, when the starlings have settled down in the roof pipes. The overnight flocks in Tøndermarsken can sometimes accommodate more than 1 million birds. BARREL MARSH The Tøndermarsken in southwestern South Jutland is approximately 2,500 hectares. Denmark's largest contiguous meadow area. The marshland has a rich bird life and a very varied flora.
