Hörnle / Jagsthausen

Hörnle / Jagsthausen is a southeast-facing site in Germany at 290 m, with tight usage limits: the whole site can only be used on a maximum of 15 days per year, with no more than 5 pilots present at a time. No new parking areas or access roads may be created, and vehicles must stay on existing parking — driving directly to launch with a motor vehicle isn't permitted, and using the limited public field tracks by car may need a special-use permit from the Jagsthausen municipality. Pilots also need to keep at least 50 meters, horizontally and vertically, clear of the nearby road. This is not a training site: flight instruction is not allowed here at all. Given the day cap and pilot limit, this is a site to plan a visit around rather than one to drop into casually.

Check conditions before you fly

A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Hörnle / Jagsthausen, 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.
