      The two MAGIC telescopes (Major Atmospheric Gamma-Ray Imaging Cherenkov Telescopes) are the world's largest air-based Cherenkov telescopes.
      MAGIC's instruments are capable of observing cosmic gamma radiation indirectly.
      The two telescopes MAGIC I and MAGIC II are dedicated to the German astrophysicist Florian Goebel, who lost his life in a tragic accident on September 10, 2008 while working on the MAGIC II telescope.

        It's amazing how the telescopes are positioned here, and how our ears are open to the universe. The road up is free to use and leads directly past the telescopes.
