Am Göbbelsberge / Albertshausen

Am Göbbelsberge, near Albertshausen, is a low local launch at about 355 m, best flown in north or northeast wind, with its own landing field on nearby farmland. Flight instruction happens here, and the person holding the ground is responsible for briefing students carefully enough that flying stays confined to the marked launch and landing areas rather than spreading across the farm. The surrounding land is working agricultural ground, so hedges, tree rows and fruit trees near the site are protected from any impact by flying, and farm tracks have to stay clear for agricultural traffic at all times. Both the launch and landing fields are maintained as ordinary farmland rather than dedicated flying infrastructure — no special use beyond flying is permitted — and using them at all depends on the farmers' consent. A modest, low-altitude training hill that only keeps working because pilots respect the farmland it sits on.
