Dielmissen – Ith

Dielmissen – Ith is a German paragliding site at about 285 m, launching southwest, with landing at the dedicated Dielmissen–Ith Landeplatz. It's a low, winch-served flatland site rather than a mountain launch, and flying here only happens by arrangement with the site holder — this isn't a site to show up at and expect open access. Winch towing on the southwest slope comes with specific formal requirements: the pilot flying needs the relevant winch-tow launch qualification, the person running the winch needs a valid winch-operator qualification, and the landowner has to have given consent for the site's use. In practice that means this is a site organised through a local club or towing group rather than one to fly independently — get in touch and confirm arrangements before planning a visit.

Local rules & hazards

Flying here is only by arrangement with the site holder. Winch towing on the southwest slope requires the pilot to hold a winch-tow launch qualification and the winch operator to hold a valid winch-operator qualification, with the landowner's consent to the site's use.

Check conditions before you fly
