Heidelsheimer Weg – Übungshang Grummer Acker

Heidelsheimer Weg – Übungshang Grummer Acker is a training slope run by a local paragliding club in Germany, launching from 163 m with the hill facing north and northwest. Guest pilots can fly here, but only after registering in advance, and even then club members and scheduled training flights always take priority over a visiting pilot's plans. Despite being labelled a training slope, the site itself isn't straightforward: launches have to run to the north while the landing pattern is flown toward the east-northeast, a mismatch between launch and landing direction that catches out pilots who assume a training hill will also be an easy one. That combination is worth taking seriously before a first visit, since it means reading the wind correctly on launch doesn't automatically translate into an obvious landing approach. The dedicated Heidelsheimer Weg landing field is where that east-northeast pattern comes together once a pilot has judged it right.
