Güttersbach SP Ost

Güttersbach SP Ost is a modest training slope at 260 m in Germany, with only about 45 m of height difference from launch to landing — a small, low-consequence hill built for repetition rather than big flights, flown on south wind. Flying here needs prior arrangement with the site operator, though the source is clear that short-notice requests are welcome rather than discouraged, and other flying schools can also use the site after checking in first. On landing, keep a proper safety distance from the row of trees at the lower edge of the field — that's the one hard hazard called out for this site. With its small height difference and training focus, it's built for repeated launch-and-land practice rather than airtime.
