Hiking

The radio telescope that you can see in this photo is not the radio telescope from Effelsberg but this is the old radio telescope near Eschweiler the radio telescope from Effelsberg which is located in a valley and cannot be seen from afar. And that's a lot bigger than this telescope

Hiking

Because of the low population density for Germany, the Eifel has one of the best starry skies in Germany. That's why the telescope is here.
