Wilnsdorf – Nord

Wilnsdorf – Nord is a German paragliding site at about 355 m, launching north, with landing at the dedicated Wilnsdorf-Nord Landeplatz. A handful of local rules shape when and how you fly here. Flying is only permitted between two hours after sunrise and one hour before sunset, so early-morning and dusk sessions are ruled out — this is a daytime-hours site. Pilots are also asked to keep noise down, avoid restricting other people's general use of the surrounding landscape, and reach the launch and landing areas only via existing paths rather than cutting across open ground. None of these are technical safety limits so much as good-neighbour rules that keep a shared landscape open to paragliders long-term — worth following even when nobody's watching.

Local rules & hazards

Check conditions before you fly

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