Schleppgelände Dischingen

Schleppgelände Dischingen is a flatland paragliding site in Germany flown by winch tow, sitting at around 520 m and flying in east or west wind. Towing runs daily between 10:00 and 21:00, which is a wide operating window compared with many winch fields. In spring, a fixed winch-duty roster keeps a team assigned; the rest of the year, a winch team typically forms informally whenever the weather looks flyable, so towing isn't guaranteed to be available on quiet midweek days outside that window — arrange it ahead of time rather than assuming a team will be there. There's a real cost difference by membership status: a tow costs €4 for club members versus €6 for guest pilots, so budget accordingly for a day of repeated laps. No separate landing field is listed, so pilots land back on the same flatland area they launched from.

Getting there & local rules

Towing isn't guaranteed outside the spring duty roster — arrange with the winch team ahead of a visit. Guest tows cost €6 versus €4 for members.

Check conditions before you fly

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