Walking in the Dark: The Impact of Light Pollution on Animals and Plants
How does our street lighting actually affect the nature around us? On evening walks in Rudkøbing, Humble, Tullebølle and Bagenkop, we focus sharply on the darkness — and on the light that disturbs it. Along the way, we will talk about how artificial light affects insects, birds, bats and plants. We look at examples and participants are invited to feel the darkness with their senses and experience how much difference light makes — even where it might not be. The tour is part of the project “Inspiration til Stjernewandringer” supported by the Friluftsråd and Østifterne.

Free tour to Glimt in Tranekær
During Glimt — Tranekær's atmospheric light festival — you can join a free guided tour and learn the story behind the light art works. A local guide will take you around to the festival's selected installations, tell you about the artists, the thoughts behind the works and the location in the particular landscape. The tour is perfect for those who want to get a little more out of the experience. You will be dressed with insight into the themes of the festival and how Glimt plays together with Tranekær's unique cultural environment. The tour takes place at a leisurely pace and in the company of other curious guests. Photo: Copenhagen Light Festival - ©Soleil Nuit - Sébastien Lefèvre

Evening tour of the silo
If you've been to Rudkøbing, you must have seen it. The 40-meter-high silo at Rudkøbing Havn. To Light in the Dark 2025, Danish Agro opens for a tour of the giant building. And if it doesn't blow too much, the walk goes 148 steps up to the roof, from where there are absolutely stunning views of the night sky of the Archipelago. The silo was built in the early 1960s by Langelands Korn. On the tour you will learn more about the history and significance of the silo for the island when Martin and Kenneth from Danish Agro show the building.

Lecture: Dark Sky Langeland
Piet Draiby from Dark Sky Langeland talks about the impact of light pollution on animals and humans, and what we can do about it. The association Dark Sky Langeland aims to ensure the dark night at Langeland by detecting and alleviating light pollution - for the benefit of the environment and the undisturbed nocturnal nature. Nature, all ecosystems and we humans need darkness to thrive. A lot of light and Light pollution threatens darkness and threatens all living things! Measurements show that over 60% of us Europeans now cannot see the night sky clearly! Measurements also show that light pollution increases by about 10% per year here in Denmark.
