Hundsberg (Paradies)

Hundsberg (Paradies) launches from 370 m in Germany, flyable in southwest wind, with the Hundsberg landing field as the designated landing zone. The forest edge bordering the site has real ecological value and its vegetation is protected — any cutting back needed for safety has to be coordinated with the local municipality and the nature conservation authority first, not done independently. Flight operations here are capped at their current scale: no more than 6 pilots may use the launch and landing areas on any single flying day, and expanding beyond that isn't permitted. Parking is restricted to a handful of designated areas in the region — Zigeunerforle in Obersulm-Eichelberg, Friedrichshof, and Kirschenwiese in Obersulm-Eschenau — so plan your approach to the site around one of those rather than parking wherever's convenient.

Check conditions before you fly

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