Königsbrunn Süd

Königsbrunn Süd is a winch-tow flying site in Bavaria, Germany, at around 495 m, taking wind from the east or west. The most important fact about this site isn't the wind, though: it's restricted to hang gliders only, not paragliders, and tow operations run strictly on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. That schedule isn't a club preference — the field sits inside the approach corridor of Lagerlechfeld military airfield, which is active on weekdays, so flying there any other time would put pilots in the path of military air traffic. It's the kind of site where the airspace rule, not the terrain, defines when and who can fly: weekday closures for safety, weekend-only operation, and a hang-glider-only restriction that paraglider pilots should note before making the trip.

Local rules & hazards

This site is for hang gliders only, not paragliders. Tow operations run Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays only, because the field lies in the weekday-active approach corridor of Lagerlechfeld military airfield.

Check conditions before you fly

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