Möslehang Menzenschwand

Möslehang Menzenschwand is a northeast-facing training slope in the Black Forest, Germany, run as a ski hang in summer with launch options anywhere between 30 and 180 m of vertical, so pilots can choose a shorter first hop or a longer flight as skill allows. Access and flying here go through the local flying school that manages the hill — sessions run in coordination with them, and a shuttle service is available to get pilots and gear back up the slope between flights, rather than everyone hiking up each time. One terrain-specific hazard: the slope sits in a cleared corridor through the trees, so crosswind conditions create turbulence off the tree lines on either side — never launch here when the wind isn't coming straight in. As a purpose-built training hang with variable launch heights, it's a site designed around building skill progressively rather than chasing distance or altitude.

Launch & conditions

Continuously variable launch points between 30 and 180 m of vertical on the ski slope.

Getting there & local rules

A shuttle service run by the local flying school is available to move pilots and gear back up the slope between flights.

Local rules & hazards

The slope sits in a cleared corridor through the trees — never launch in crosswind, since the tree lines on either side generate turbulence.

Check conditions before you fly

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