Takeoff description

The launch site has a ramp with a width of 2.40m. Launching is possible for hang gliders and paragliders. Hang gliders have to walk a little more actively, as the ramp is not quite as steep as other ramps. Paragliders, on the other hand, have a problem with the castle wall. The wind bounces off the castle wall and forms a rotor. The wind turns into the take-off area from the south-east at a wind direction of approx. 70°- 80°. This means that although the wind comes from the north-east, you first lay out the glider against the south-east, then you bring the glider over you and turn it into the north-east wind. You need very good ground handling skills to be able to launch safely there. The take-off run is extremely short. The decision to launch must be made quickly. Please do not launch if conditions do not allow it, for example in low wind/zero wind.
