Takeoff description
Big grassy field, south exposure. For getting to the takeoff there are 2 options: 1) By club's shuttle jeep. The apoitmnet is at landing field, or on the parking nearby it (200m to the east). Costs 10eur. 2) By walking. Approox 1,5 hrs. ALthough possible, usually not the preferred way of getting there. Goiing up by private vehicles is not allowed due to park's regulations, and the road quality requires an off-road vehicle.
