At an altitude of 1337 meters with a height difference of approximately 755 meters, this paragliding site in Jelenia Gora, Poland, is frequently used and offers excellent soaring conditions with the possibility for cross-country flights. Access is convenient via a chairlift. The site is located in the Karkonosze National Park, specifically at Kopa in Karpacz. Flights are permitted from June 1st until the end of February of the following year, due to a protection period for local wildlife such as the peregrine falcon and black grouse. To fly here, you must obtain personal permissions from the Director of the Karkonosze National Park. You can submit the necessary documents via email to sekretariat@kpnmab.pl. Mała Kopa offers a comfortable, grassy take-off area at 1310 meters above sea level, situated next to the top chairlift station and at the beginning of a ski trail. The official landing field is 700 meters below, east of the 'Skalny' Hotel. Ideal wind directions for take-off are between 330-030 degrees, although experienced pilots can manage in more westerly winds. Since spring 2011, Kopa has been an official launch site in the Karkonosze National Park. To take off legally, you need a valid paragliding license, Third Party Insurance, and written permission from the Park's Director. Detailed application procedures can be found on the KPN website (Polish version only): http://www.kpnmab.pl/pl/paralotnie,242 For assistance, you can contact Zbig at 0048 501 666 945. Remember, no more than five pilots are allowed at the take-off spot at one time. Prepare your equipment on the concrete square near the chairlift and minimize your time on the ski slope. Avoid flying directly over the chairlift to prevent alarming the workers. Mała Kopa is an excellent starting point for flights along the main Karkonosze range or over Snieżka. Pilots have achieved distances over 150 km multiple times, with a record of 212 km set in 2006. Be cautious of the NE wind when heading to the landing field, as you will be flying into the wind. In emergencies, small landing spots are available in Wilcza Poręba, a district of Karpacz. First-time flyers over Sniezka should gain sufficient altitude over Kopa before attempting the flight and avoid low-altitude flying in the nearby cirque (Kocioł Łomniczki).

View spotLocated in Lower Silesia, Poland, Szrenica offers a paragliding experience that is occasionally used but can be quite rewarding. The launch site is accessible via a chairlift, taking you to the top of the mountain where you will find a grassy ski trail facing east to northeast. This area is suitable for pilots who are comfortable with stabilizing their canopy over their heads, as the terrain is steep and uneven. The slopes of Szrenica are ideal for both thermal flights and dynamic soaring. The best wind direction for soaring is northeast. For thermal flying, it is recommended to launch early in the day to take advantage of the thermals that are triggered along the east slope of Szrenica. The vertical drop from the launch site is 700 meters. The only safe landing area is 4 kilometers away in 'Dolina Krasnoludków' (Dwarfs' Valley). This landing spot is a large, L-shaped meadow that requires precision and skill to land on, especially during midday thermals. Szrenica offers a mix of dynamic slope soaring and strong thermals, making it a versatile site for experienced pilots.

View spotRudnik is a well-known paragliding site in Poland, situated between Przełęcz Kowarska (Kowary Pass) and Skalnik. The take-off area is a large, visible meadow on top of a mountain, easily spotted from Kowary. To reach the site, drive east from the gas station by the town's bypass, following the road to Wałbrzych. Just before Przełęcz Kowarska, take the last left turn into a forest lane leading to a sender antenna. Park your car here, as driving further is prohibited. Walk straight along the lane for about 300 meters, then turn right onto a steep, narrow path. After a 5-minute walk, you will reach the take-off site, which is 840 meters above sea level. The take-off area is a wide clearing in the forest, allowing for safe landings after a failed take-off. However, be cautious when landing on uneven ground. The ideal wind directions for take-off are between 290-320 degrees, though a wider range (270-340 degrees) is possible for experienced pilots. Be aware of potential rotors in westerly winds and keep to the right side of the clearing after take-off. The vertical drop of the launch slope ranges from 290-340 meters, depending on the landing spot. The official landing area is visible from the take-off site, located near some buildings with a pond, on a triangular-shaped meadow to the left of a dirt road heading northeast. In case of emergency, pilots can land on the meadows at the foot of the mountain. Rudnik often provides calm soaring conditions in the afternoons due to valley winds. However, it can also trigger strong thermals, making it essential to choose the right moment for take-off and be experienced in coring thermals. Popular cross-country routes from Rudnik include flying downwind to Sobótka, Kłodzko, and Jeseniky. In northerly winds, pilots can fly left to Wołowa Góra and continue to the main Karkonosze range, either towards Śnieżka or the Orlickie Mountains. Common mistakes include continuing a problematic take-off run instead of stopping and overestimating the wing's glide ratio when flying close to the mountainside. Be cautious of light east winds, which can create misleading wind sleeve indications. Ensure the wind is blowing from the northwest before take-off.

View spotThe Dzikowiec launch site, situated at 800 meters above sea level in the Stone Mountains, is a few kilometers south of Boguszów-Gorce. The main launch area is located at the upper station of the cableway, accessible either by cable railway or on foot via forest trails. Be cautious of cyclists' downhill rallies, which occur frequently. The launch meadow measures approximately 40x40 meters. When approaching from the east, be mindful of the electric traction. After landing, pack your equipment in the northwest corner. The landing area is 900 meters east of the launch site, situated on a meadow at the foot of the mountain, accessible via a dirt road leading from Dzikowiec to Unisław Śląski. Dzikowiec Mountain, standing at 836 meters above sea level, is managed by the Aeroclub of the Wałbrzych Region. The site includes a center for air and winter sports, located in 'Bacówka' under Dzikowiec, offering a buffet and accommodation with amenities such as electricity, heating, toilets, showers, and hot water. Contact the center at 090-338143. A winch is available for flying in calm conditions at Mieroszów or the Świebodzice airfield. The site manager is a first-class instructor in paragliding, hang gliding, powered hang gliding, and powered paragliding. Dzikowiec allows for a wide range of wind directions due to its broad-walled nozzle, with the best wind coming from the northeast (NE 45°). The useful wind range is from 0° to 75°. The elevation difference is 230 meters at the 'bald' area and about 200 meters at the lift. The main launch site is at the upper station of the ski lift, accommodating two wings at a time with ample space for more. Be cautious of the lift cables, especially with northern wind deviations. Avoid launching during lift operations to prevent accidents. The 'bald' launch site, located west of the lift, is more challenging and allows only one wing to launch at a time. It requires a standing start due to the steep slope. The site is accessible by walking straight from the upper lift station, crossing a small pass, and turning right after a few minutes on a flat road. The 'shelf' launch site, located about one-third up the slope on the ski lift route, is suitable for beginners aiming for short glides. Avoid flying here with any wind deviation due to rotor effects. There are two landing sites: one at the lower lift station (Bacówka) and another on a meadow near Unisław Śląski. The Bacówka landing is narrow and requires precision, while the Unisław meadow is spacious but has a low-voltage power line to watch out for. Access to Dzikowiec is possible from Boguszów-Gorce's Kuźnic district or from the Wałbrzych-Mieroszów road. By train, disembark at Boguszów-Gorce Wschód station and follow the described route. By bus, get off at Unisław Śląski and follow the path to the PKP station, then proceed to Bacówka.

This location is occasionally used for paragliding, and cross-country (XC) flights are possible from this ski slope. For a visual experience, you can watch a flight from this location on YouTube: [Flight Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyv0OWLoHY8).
View spotElevation: 347 meters, Height Difference: approximately 120 meters, rarely used. Soaring is possible, and cross-country flights can be attempted. Watch a flight video here: [YouTube Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhxJMgiwWwI) For more information, visit: [Paralotnie Atomnet](http://www.paralotnie.atomnet.pl/) Elevation Difference: 80-100 meters. Best Conditions: East wind is ideal, but northeast and southeast winds can also be manageable. Soaring conditions start at 3 m/s, and at 4-5 m/s, expect thrilling flights. Flying is only possible in autumn or winter. Landing Zones: Wide and reliable landing zones at the base. Landing on ledges is challenging and nearly impossible with winds over 4 m/s. The slopes have scattered trees, but they can generally be flown over without issue. The usable width of the slope depends on wind strength: 2-3 m/s allows for about 150-250 meters (verified), while over 4 m/s could theoretically allow for about 500 meters. The flight range along the slope may be affected by deviations from the east wind direction. It is speculated that with 5 m/s winds, it might be possible to transition to a neighboring forested slope, potentially allowing flights up to 1 km, though this has not been tested. Below lies the San Valley and fish ponds. Access: Accessible by PKS bus directly to the slope.
View spotThis site, with an elevation of 697 meters, is rarely used for paragliding. It is primarily suitable for soaring flights.
View spotKrowiara, also known as Mieroszów, is a highly frequented paragliding site in Poland, ideal for both training and soaring. The hill, marked as Jatki (656m) on maps, is located in the Kamienne Mountains, overlooking the village of Nowe Siodło to the south and the town of Mieroszów to the west. This site is particularly popular when strong winds make flying in higher mountains challenging. Krowiara offers a vast landing area with minimal terrain obstacles, making it perfect for beginners. The site is known for its dynamic soaring conditions, which can be enjoyed even with a wind speed of 3-4 m/s. Altitude records have been set here, and the vertical drop of just 30 meters makes it easy to start thermalling right after take-off. The terrain is unique, allowing pilots to utilize mild waves that form over Krowiara. Safe wind directions for flying are between 180 and 240 degrees. While it is possible to fly with a 250-degree wind direction, pilots should be cautious of turbulence caused by a nearby hump. South-east winds are only recommended for experienced local pilots. Accommodation is readily available in nearby villages such as Kowalowa and Sokołowsko. The area also offers a great atmosphere for social activities like bonfires and grilling sausages, making it a memorable experience for all visitors.

View spotThis paragliding site, situated at an elevation of 907 meters, is rarely used and typically offers short flights. The terrain features a 300-meter elevation difference and is accessible via a chairlift. After reaching the top, it's a five-minute walk downhill to the launch area. The locals are friendly and welcoming. Launch Area: Suitable for take-offs facing North (N), Northeast (NE), and for advanced pilots, North-Northwest (NNW). Landing Zones: 1. 'Garages' Landing Zone: Located approximately 500 meters east of the launch site, this area is bordered by a house with a distinctive brick pool and red roof to the north, telephone wires to the west, an asphalt road to the east, and another house with a wooden fence to the south. The dimensions are roughly 50 meters by 200 meters, oriented South-North. Be cautious of the crops in this area. 2. Meadows at the Base: Various meadows ranging from 150 meters to 400 meters in size are available. However, those to the west can be dangerous due to leeward rotors and active thermals in the evening. 3. Parking Area: Only for advanced pilots, this parking lot near the lower station of the chairlift measures about 50 meters by 100 meters and is filled with electric lamp posts. It gets crowded with cars during weekends in the season. The approach is challenging due to high trees, steep slopes, and thermal activity. 4. Meadows Above the Lower Station: These small, sloped meadows north of the lower station are considered emergency landing zones for those who drift north but fail to catch a thermal. Chairlift: The upper station of the chairlift leads to the launch area. The ticket price was 6 PLN as of August 2000, with a free return upon presenting the receipt. Single chairs are available, and if there are issues with carrying both the glider and pilot on one chair, the staff will place the backpack on the chair behind the pilot at no extra charge. Terrain Description: The launch area, Polana Jaworzyna, is initially gentle but becomes steeper halfway down. Without wind, take-off is only possible from the steeper section. With favorable North winds, take-off can start from the top of the meadow. A wind direction ribbon should be placed at the western edge to avoid surprises due to wind shifts. In North winds, a scenic ridge lift forms along the 400-meter slope. Both the eastern and western ridges are lift zones. During thermal conditions, the best lift areas are the ridges, the bowl at the launch line, the eastern slope, and the meadows and buildings near the road. The current altitude record is over 800 meters above the launch site. Wind Conditions: Pay attention to the dominant wind directions at the upper chairlift station, indicated by a wind vane. In stronger southern winds, the upper part of the launch area may be in the rotor zone, providing a gentle breeze for take-off. Alternative Route: Behind the lower chairlift station, there is a dirt road marked with a no-entry sign, except for G.P.N. (possibly "Grupa Pilotów Napalonych" or "Granice Paralotniarstwa Nieodpowiedzialnego"). Access to the launch area requires a 4WD vehicle, mainly used for retrieving pilots from trees after the chairlift closes (usually at 15:45 in the season).

View spotSkrzętla, located at the eastern end of the Łososiński range in the village of Skrzętla - Rojówka, is a popular paragliding site in the Nowy Sacz region of Poland. The take-off height is 630 meters above sea level with a drop of 250 meters. The recommended wind direction for take-off is from the northeast to east, although north-northeast to east is also possible. To reach Skrzętla from Krakow, the shortest route is through Gdów, Łapanów, Żegociny, and Ujanowice. After Ujanowice in Wronowice, turn right onto Świdnik, then right again after a few hundred meters at the arrow pointing to Skrzętla. You can drive to the summit, but please drive slowly and carefully, especially near the local shop and houses. The take-off area is suitable for foot-launching with a paraglider or hang glider. The site can accommodate 2-3 wings at a time. Be cautious of the landing site's position relative to the slope, especially with a north wind, which can be challenging for novice pilots. There are two main landing sites in the valley: "Middle at the wires" and "Invisible, on the left." The "Middle at the wires" site has uneven ground and deep rifts, so be cautious. The "Invisible, on the left" site is a large meadow, often used when the wind is from the east. Be aware of the electric shepherd that may be placed there. Landing at the top is recommended only for experienced pilots due to the challenging conditions. The area is within the ATZ zone of the Łososina Dolna aerodrome, so flying towards the north is prohibited. For achieving heights, the standard direction is northeast. The area between the starting point and the "Buli" bulge is popular for thermal sailing. With a north wind, the entire slope works well, but it's easiest to navigate between the first and second ribs of the band. When the wind is from the east, flying on the "Tits" hills near Skrzętla is recommended. These hills are known for strong thermal turbulences. The longest recorded flight from this site is 149 km by Darek "Muzyka" Chrobaka. Potential threats include entering the aerodrome zone, collision in the air, landing on the summit with strong wind, and poorly planned approaches to landing.

View spotThe gliding site at Rzeszów Technical University Aeroclub is located in the Bieszczady Mountains, Poland. This site offers a height difference of 205 meters and is regularly used for cross-country flights. The take-off directions are primarily to the south, southwest, and southeast. The launch area is approximately 300 meters wide, providing ample space for take-offs. The slope has been cleared of wild alder and thorny bushes, thanks to the efforts of the Aeroclub. The elevation differences are as follows: - Summit to barn: >220 meters (distance 1750 meters) - Summit to glider arrow: 125 meters (distance 400 meters) - Middle shelf to glider arrow: approximately 100 meters Below the middle shelf, the slope is smooth and steep, making it ideal for initial flights and improving take-off techniques. Although driving to the summit is possible, it is generally discouraged. Walking up the slope is recommended for better physical conditioning. Bezmiechowa-South is considered one of the best spots in Poland for beginners and intermediate pilots. The large landing area (1750 by 300-500 meters) ensures that in any situation, a straight flight to the landing zone is possible. For beginners, it is advised to release the brakes if panicking in the air rather than pulling them chaotically. Soaring flights are possible with southern and southwestern winds above 6 m/s, even without thermals. Thermal flights are also possible, but connecting with thermals can be a matter of luck. Glider flights (soaring and thermal) are feasible with winds above 7 m/s, up to a maximum of 13-15 m/s. The best conditions for soaring flights start at the end of August and last until around November. The views from this site are fantastic, with visibility extending to Lake Solina, the Bieszczady meadows, and even the Tatra Mountains on clear days. Wildlife in the area includes wolves, bears, vipers, slowworms, lizards, and various birds of prey. Encounters with deer and hares are common, adding to the unique experience of flying in this region.

View spotHeight: 972 meters, Height Difference: approximately 420 meters, medium-difficult This site is frequently used and cross-country flights are possible. In winter, you can take a gondola up and then walk and fly. In summer, ask locals for directions; there seems to be a road suitable for 4x4 vehicles. Region: Beskid Wyspowy 'Island Beskid' - Poland. The site record is 29.4 km. Recommended wind direction: NWW – NEE. Possible wind direction: NNE - NNW. Access: Depending on whether you plan to make a descent or a cross-country flight, park your car accordingly. For descent: Park on the northern side of the mountain (in Kasina Wielka, head towards the "Śnieżnica" ski station). If coming from Wiśniowa, turn left after the center. You can take the lift, which operates regularly in winter and on the hour during summer weekends (info: http://www.snieznica.pl/lato). The hiking trail follows the lift initially, then the blue trail heading east. This will lead you to the summit, marked by a wooden cross. About 25 meters before the cross, on the left, there's a barely visible path leading to the launch site on the northern slope. For cross-country: Park on the southern side of the mountain (near the Mszana D. – Limanowa road) in the village of Gruszowiec, at the top of the Gruszowiec pass (connecting Śnieżnica and Ćwilin). There's a bar called "Pod Cyckiem" or "Pod Śnieżnicą". You can leave your car there if you are a customer. Follow the blue trail to the summit, which takes about 50 minutes. Launch: The launch site on Śnieżnica is not a legally designated launch site but is suitable for foot-launched paragliding or hang gliding. The area is private property, so no alterations are allowed. The launch area can accommodate 3x2 wings. Launching is best with NE to NW winds. Be cautious of turbulence with maximum wind deviations and high wind speeds. Watch more experienced pilots for guidance. Landing: The landing area under Śnieżnica is not a legally designated landing site but is suitable for paragliding or hang gliding. The usual landing spot is not visible from the launch site. It is located approximately 2 km to the NW, below the parking area of the ski station (formerly "Kasina Wielka" train station). Wind strength near the landing area is often higher than the general wind strength, so plan your approach height accordingly. Gaining Altitude: Note: Śnieżnica is close to the TMA Balice zone. The slope is usually rich in thermals. In weak winds, check the foreground, and in deviations, the ridges work well even at low altitudes. Be cautious of turbulence when approaching ridges from the leeward side. Turbulence also occurs near the upper part of the ski trail. If it's difficult to gain altitude over Śnieżnica, you can drift to Ćwilin to find stronger thermals. Moderate turbulence can be expected near the Ćwilin slope. If there are no strong thermals with a strong west deviation, try moving to the NW - W slope, beyond the ski trail, where strong thermals are often found. Cross-Country: Usually, there's no need to max out altitude over Śnieżnica, as the thermals and clouds over Ćwilin are more efficient. The next jump is usually short. Beginners should be cautious when entering the Gorce mountains and stay high.

View spotThe site is located at an elevation of 628 meters with a height difference of approximately 100 meters. Currently, there are no flight logs available, and the information is inconclusive. The coordinates have not been verified. From personal accounts, it is known that in the 1950s and 60s, the slopes were deliberately afforested, and sawmills were established at the base. This was reportedly done to destroy the gliding site. Additionally, the border with the Ukrainian SSR was only a few kilometers from the peak at that time. Last year, a TV documentary featured a segment on the former flying activities in Ustianowa. At the end of the program, the mayor of Ustianowa expressed interest in restoring one of the slopes for hang gliders and paragliders. I plan to visit the site later this month to see the current conditions.
View spotLocated on the Slovakian/Polish border, this paragliding spot sits at an elevation of 1964 meters.

View spotWołowa Góra, located in Poland, offers a paragliding experience with a takeoff height of 1016 meters and a height difference of approximately 480 meters. This site is regularly used and is suitable for soaring and cross-country (XC) flights, although the takeoff can be a bit turbulent. To reach the takeoff point, you need to walk from Przełęcz Okraj (Okraj Pass) along the 'Tabaczna Ścieżka' path. The walk takes about 30 minutes and the terrain is almost flat. The takeoff area is at an altitude of 1000 meters and is not the easiest, as it is uneven and overgrown with grass and blueberries. Caution is advised. The ideal wind directions for launching are between 330 and 010 degrees. The landing field is 500 meters below the takeoff point. It is a distinctive square meadow at the foot of the mountain, slightly to the right, surrounded by trees with high voltage wires at the end. Pay attention while landing. If you have enough altitude, it is better to choose the landing area at Rudnik, which is a bit further to the northeast. Wołowa Góra is thermally active. Depending on the weather conditions, you can either fly back over Skalny Stół and Czarna Kopa towards Śnieżka, or in the opposite direction towards Rudnik to utilize its potential. If you feel no wind at the takeoff, ensure it is not a light south or southeast wind. Wołowa Góra works best in north and northwest winds. It is not advisable to take off in winds more easterly than 020 degrees.
