Takeoff description
Nice round mountain in the center of Bad Kleinkirchheim. Suitable to start in directions E/S/W West is a little bit flat. East great start! The takeoff is in winter reachable with the gondola and a short hike of 10 minutes. Summer there is at the moment just hike & fly
Rules and notes
No official flight site - so be nice to the people and the enviroment - it is tolerated.
Pilot comments
Also good for spring and summer flying, but you have to hike there (1 hour minimum) Alternative - start at 'Hohensass' near St. Peter / Radenthein.
