Buchenberg Paragliding Sites

Upper takeoff direction NW (besides the cablecar mountain station): Mostly a lot of pilots - you have to queue already prepared for take-off. This can cause quite a lot of sweat. Often wonderful smooth flights with still good thermals in the late afternoon - about 5 pm.In case of constant wind from NE experienced pilots can also take off to NE over a ramp - but first ask one of the locals/tandem pilots if it is safe enough!!lower takeoff (picture 2 & 3)is a bit of a hike from the top, but easy set up. Lower take off is a narrow chute and winds will rotate in there. Watch the winds comming up carefully as there is a rock wall on right side that can cause pain. The classic flying site with a flight over the royal Neuschwanstein. The Tegelberg flight regulations must be observed! https://www.tegelbergbahn.de/de/sommer/aktivitaeten/gleitschirm-und-drachenfliegen Launch preparations such as line sorting and putting on the harness must be carried out outside the launch area. Then take off with the glider reefed. Every pilot needs a new "green briefing card". A pilot's license and proof of insurance must also be presented at the valley station, otherwise no transport by cable car. Important: keep a safe distance from the cable car! Always observe the landing rules: separate paraglider and hang glider landing areas. Fly over the road at a height of at least 10 m. Tandem flights are regulated by the Tegelberg cable car. Flights may only be carried out by authorized providers with the consent of the Tegelbergbahn. Private tandem flights are not permitted.
