Takeoff description
Takeoff is located on the hill above city Cerklje, on about 1300m asl. After about 25minutes of driving with your car you get almost to the takeoff. Usually there are couple of cars parked, and you can easily leave your car there. The takeoff is not that hard. If there is a W or S wind blowing you choose upper start, and if there's E wind you have to go to the lower start which is located about 200m lower. To both starts you can easily come with your car.
Rules and notes
There is a CTR located near the landing place, so you're not allowed to fly higher than 300m above the landing place.
