Rules and notes
local club: https://www.skyclub-austria.at/de/skyclub/Fluggebiete/Stoderzinken.php Stoderzinken Winter Closed: October 31 - March 31. Takeoffs are permitted only from the launch sites on the Stoderzinken summit plateau, and flights are only permitted at the highest possible altitude above ground, heading east. During the winter close, hang glider and paraglider takeoffs from the Peter Rosegger launch site and overflights of the area below and west of Stoderstraße below 150 m above sea level are strictly prohibited – this is a wildlife sanctuary! Thank you!
