Schulungsgelände Auenheim Schutzwall

Auenheim Schutzwall is a training site (Schulungsgelände) in Germany, a low hill at just 160 m working on north-east to east winds. As a dedicated training slope, flying here happens only in coordination with the local flying school rather than as an open-access site — this is a place built for structured lessons, not casual solo flying. During training sessions, students are guided by radio throughout the flight, and the school does not run lessons when the wind swings southerly or westerly, since that side of the hill sits in the lee and turns unpredictable. It's a straightforward example of the low, wind-specific practice hills that German flying schools rely on for a student's first controlled flights, before progressing to bigger terrain.

Check conditions before you fly

A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Schulungsgelände Auenheim Schutzwall, 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.
