Flugplatz Anspach – Wehrheim

Flugplatz Anspach – Wehrheim is a winch-tow paragliding site set on a gliding airfield in Hesse, Germany, at around 336 m, with a workable wind window across six directions — northeast through south and west — unusually wide for a winch field. The tow line runs up to 1,400 m, and while paraglider towing is standard, hang-glider towing can be arranged on request. The scheduling is the detail to plan around: there's no towing on weekends, and no towing at the same time as other airfield activity, which points to a shared-use arrangement where paragliding fits into gaps in the glider club's own schedule rather than running independently. With that much wind flexibility, most days have a workable direction — the harder part is matching your visit to when the tow line is actually free to use.

Local rules & hazards

Tow operations do not run on weekends and cannot run alongside other airfield activity — flying here means fitting into the shared airfield's schedule.
