Takeoff description
04.01.2018 Edited by Soaringclub Präbichl Member: !!! NO TAKEOFF WHEN COWS ARE IN THE AREA !!! We will lose the permission for takeoff, please check www.soaringclub.net , if flying is permitted. --- After a 1h hike you reach the takeoff area. Its pretty easy to takeoff there, cause there's a lot of space. the only thing to mention is, that there are some cows how may disturb you. For taking off you need Wind from South. about 500m straigt ahead of the takeoff is an area with great thermals. Even in snow-less winters there are some upwinds.
