Hundsbach

Hundsbach is a practice hill for hang-soaring in Hesse, Germany, at about 282 m, facing northeast. The landing area sits in the lower part of the slope, and top-landing back at launch is also possible for pilots comfortable with it. Despite the practice-hill name, this is explicitly not an instruction site: the site is stated as unsuitable for training, and no formal school or instruction operations are permitted here. That makes it a site for pilots who already fly independently and want a soaring hill to put in repetitions, rather than a place to learn from scratch.

Local rules & hazards

This site is not suitable for training and no formal instruction operations are permitted here — it is for independently flying pilots only.

Check conditions before you fly

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