Takeoff description
Not a very large grassy and rocky area for 1-2 gliders. At least 2-3 m/s upwind is desirable for a safe take-off. Access to the take-off: Park on meadows under the hill and take a traverse path to the top. The take-off is also accessible from the E8 path, which passes through a meadow about 300m behind the take-off. You need to take the direction of a hunting hide, cross the ridge a bit and you find the take-off.
