Breitnau Startplatz Breitnauer Kopf

Breitnau Startplatz Breitnauer Kopf launches from 1,111 m in Germany on southwest wind, with the landing down at Laisacker — the same valley landing used by other Breitnau launches nearby. The mountain itself is private property, so flying is only permitted with prior arrangement and approval from the landowner, not open access. As with the neighboring Branden launch, there's one rule that overrides everything else: if cows are grazing the pasture at the launch, launching is completely forbidden, regardless of conditions. It's a straightforward reminder that pilots are guests on working farmland here — always check the pasture in person before setting up, rather than assuming it's clear because it was last time.

Local rules & hazards
