Takeoff description
The take-off a south/east facing grassy meadow, wide enough to allow 5 paraglider take-offs at the same time. There are several wind indicators. It is relatively easy to perform top-landing in dynamic conditions. Behind the take-off area there is a horizontal lawn which can be used for pre-flight checks of the paraglider. There are a few benches available to the public. Beware of the 130 kVolt power line located behind the take-off vertical, at a height of about 40 metres.
