Aussichtswiese

Aussichtswiese, at about 290 m facing southwest to west, is a tightly capped site rather than an open-access one: flying is limited to 36 flying days a year, with no more than 12 pilots allowed at a time. Wildlife protection shapes the calendar directly — animals must not be deliberately disturbed, breeding or gathering wildlife must not be unnecessarily bothered, and flying is paused entirely during the main bird breeding season, from 1 April to 1 June each year. Practical rules fill out the rest: parking is only allowed in the designated car park, takeoff and landing areas must be kept free of litter, and every pilot needs to be briefed on the site's particular features before flying. It's a site that clearly runs on a negotiated agreement with its surroundings, so pilots flying here are expected to respect the day and pilot-count limits, not just show up and launch.

Check conditions before you fly

A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Aussichtswiese, read the wind and thermals for the site itself, confirm the day's rules with the local club, and remember the standing rule — when in doubt, don't launch. In the free OutDare app you can open Aussichtswiese with a 7-day forecast built from high-resolution weather models, see who else has been flying, and get there with offline maps.
