Wehingen

Wehingen is a local launch at about 399 m, flown in an east wind and described as tandem-suitable whenever there's at least 10-15 km/h of headwind on launch. Every pilot needs a briefing from the site holder, or someone the holder has designated, before their first flight here — there's no flying without that orientation first. Pilots keep at least 50 m of horizontal and vertical clearance from the nearby road. The site holder is responsible for keeping vegetation in and below the launch clearing trimmed so it doesn't compromise flight safety, which matters on a hill where the takeoff itself sits inside a cut lane through the trees. A modest, wind-dependent local hill best treated as a tandem-friendly option specifically when there's enough headwind, rather than a reliable everyday launch.

Check conditions before you fly

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