Hubertushütte Geisingen

Hubertushütte Geisingen is a launch at about 886 m facing southwest to west. The one hard rule here: never launch when there's a northerly influence on the wind, since the site's gap shape turns that into real turbulence danger. If you don't gain height right after launching, head straight for the landing areas with plenty of height in hand rather than trying to work the air. Training flights do happen here, but only once students have logged at least 10 height flights at other sites and the conditions on the day suit beginners. Access is on foot from the car park, strictly along the paths shown in the site's permit — carry your gear in rather than driving, and don't cut across the specially protected areas nearby. Motorised vehicles aren't allowed up to the launch except in genuine emergencies, both to protect the forest's recreational value for other visitors and to avoid disturbing local wildlife.

A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Hubertushütte Geisingen, 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.
