Güttersbach SP Süd

Güttersbach SP Süd is a small training slope at 260 m in Germany, with just about 30 m of height difference between launch and landing — even more modest than its sister site nearby — flown on east wind. As with the other Güttersbach practice hills, flying here needs prior arrangement with the site operator, and short-notice requests are explicitly welcome rather than discouraged; other flying schools can also use the site after checking in. The one hazard called out at landing is the row of trees along the lower edge of the field, so keep a proper safety margin from it on your approach. With such a small height difference, this is squarely a repetition site for launch-and-land practice, not somewhere to expect real airtime.

Check conditions before you fly

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