Takeoff description
There are 2 take off areas. A big one and a small one. It depends on the farmer wich one to take. The big one is also suitable for hanggliders, the small one is not. Ask the farmer wich one to take. If he is nowhere to be found, go to the small one, because normally you will have to start from there. The small starting area can be found by walking up the dirt road. After 4 minutes, you can see a bench to your right, there is the starting area.
