About Uzhhorod Observatory

The observatory was founded in 1957 and operates as part of Uzhhorod National University, at an elevation of 183 metres. Detailed public information about its current instruments and research programme is limited online, which is common for university observatories that serve teaching and local research rather than public outreach.

Location & getting there

Uzhhorod lies in western Ukraine, close to the borders with Slovakia and Hungary, in the Europe region. The observatory's setting at 183 metres above sea level gives it a modest, hill-free vantage over the surrounding Zakarpattia lowlands.
