Takeoff description
alti: 890m after 12h thermals and breeze can be strong. Lot's of pilots come here, we thank you to drive slowly and respect the people living on the road to the launch area. This site is fragile! If people complain too much we might lose the right to fly here. So don't unload your car at the turning point on top. Do it when parked further down the road. Respect nature, the people and regulations!
