Beedenkirchen

Beedenkirchen is a training hill in Hesse, Germany, at about 366 m, working with wind from the north, northeast, west or northwest. Access is coordinated directly with the site operator rather than open to anyone showing up, since the flying area sits under nature conservation oversight from the district authority. Because of that, launches and landings need to be carried out with maximum care for the surrounding nature and landscape — this isn't a site to treat casually on the ground. Hang glider flights specifically are restricted to the lower part of the practice hill only, so hang glider pilots need to plan their flying within that limited zone rather than using the full hill.

Check conditions before you fly

A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Beedenkirchen, 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 Beedenkirchen with a 7-day forecast built from high-resolution weather models, see who else has been flying, and get there with offline maps.
