    Hiking

    ⛰️The first freely movable radio telescope in Germany is located on the Stockert, a mountain near Bad Münstereifel🧭:
    📡The Astro Directional Camera📡.
    The facility was built in 1956. Today it is equipped with modern technology.
    The NRW Foundation has owned this facility since 2005.
    A lot of knowledge with the astropeiler went into the construction of the radio telescope📡 in Effelsberg🧭, and after it was put into operation in 1972, research slowly began to move there.
    The radio astronomy facility is now operated purely on a voluntary basis.
