Hörnle Tannenbankerl Übungshang

Hörnle Tannenbankerl is a training slope in Germany with 85 m of height difference, at around 1,060 m and facing north. It's used specifically for basic paragliding instruction, and flying is only permitted in coordination with a local flying school rather than as an independent launch. The site's own rules build in real safety margins for students: the exact launch height on the slope is set based on each student's current skill level and the wind conditions on the day, rather than always starting from the top. Launching from the upper slope specifically requires that a student already has safe, reliable turning flight under control — it isn't offered to complete beginners on their very first attempts. Launching is also banned outright whenever conditions in the clearing turn turbulent, regardless of student level. Together, these rules describe a genuinely progressive, instructor-managed training site rather than a free-for-all slope.

Getting there & local rules

Flying is only permitted in coordination with a local flying school.

Local rules & hazards

Launch height is set by the student's skill level and current wind; launching from the upper slope requires reliable turning flight already mastered. No launches in turbulent conditions in the clearing.

Check conditions before you fly

A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Hörnle Tannenbankerl Übungshang, 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.
