Takeoff description
The East takeoff is steep and clean. There are actually no landing places below this takeoff, so if the lift is weak right after launching, it is better to turn right to be close to the landing below the South takeoff.
Pilot comments
The mountain above Topolitsa village is part of the Stara Planina (Balkan) mountain and offers two take-off spots 1.2km apart. Both are 350m above the valley floor and give excellent opportunities for thermal and ridge soaring. Topolitsa village is situated 40km northwest of Burgas and only 12km from Aitos. The flight in the mountain will take your breath away and you will remember it ever after! While enjoying the chirrups of the birds, you will be fascinated by the incredible views of the mountain, the field and the forest below you :-).
