Where to watch tonight's eclipse around Enschede? Deldeneresch and several more spots

Partial solar eclipse tonight, about 88% of the sun gone, peaking at 20:11. By then the sun is under 10 degrees above the horizon, west-northwest, so a row of trees or a warehouse is enough to block it.

Observatory Cosmos at Erfgoed Bossem is hosting a viewing evening. Otherwise Deldeneresch near Ambt Delden (31 m), the beach near Oldenzaal, or Zonnenberg near Agelo at 43 m.

Map of 200+ spots with a clear sightline (observatories, beaches, dikes, viewpoints), with a layer that checks every 30 metres whether the terrain blocks you. Disclaimer: built this myself. https://localthings.nl/atlas/zonsverduistering-2026

And please don't look without eclipse glasses, sunglasses don't count either, and never through binoculars or a telescope. No glasses? A pinhole in cardboard projected onto white paper works fine. Enjoy!
