Description

Wołowa 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.
