Entenberg

Entenberg is a north- to northeast-facing launch in Germany at around 534 m, with flying hours built into the local rules: sessions can only run from two hours after sunrise until one hour before sunset, and never later than 20:00 regardless of season. The landing field doubles as working farmland, so pilots need to land and pack up without getting in the way of normal agricultural use — this isn't a dedicated sports field, it's a meadow the farmer still needs. Vehicles must stay on paved tracks; parking or driving across the open ground isn't permitted. None of this makes Entenberg unusual for a small local hill, but it does mean checking the clock as carefully as the wind before heading up, since a fully legal flight in the morning can become a rule-breaking one if it runs past the evening cutoff.

Local rules & hazards

Flying is only permitted from two hours after sunrise until one hour before sunset, and never later than 20:00. The landing field is working farmland — land and clear it without disrupting normal agricultural use, and keep vehicles on paved tracks rather than driving across the open ground.

Check conditions before you fly

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