Many of the unidentified Egret sources are believed to be young pulsars. Such young not-identified pulsars should be surrounded by pulsar wind nebulae which are at present well established TeV gamma-ray sources (like Vela X, MSH 15-52 and G0.9+0.1). Moreover, other type of gamma-ray sources are likely, i.e. binary systems, molecular clouds, supernovae remnants, massive stars. The Milagro experiment has recently reported a gamma-ray source above ~12 TeV in the Cygnus region, MGRO J2019+37, which is spatially coincident with the EGRET sources 3EG J2021+3716 / 3EG J2016+3657. Here we present the results of a search for gamma-ray emission between about 100 GeV and about 10 TeV with the MAGIC telescope from these sources.
