The Gschasi site in Elzach, Germany, offers an excellent entry into the Black Forest thermals for both hang gliders and paragliders. The west-facing slope is particularly effective for soaring in the afternoons and evenings. Access to the launch site is provided by the Elztalflieger club bus. The natural launch area is situated in a wide clearing and is suitable for both hang gliders and paragliders. The northern boundary still features the original launch site for hang gliders, which is a natural ramp over the Gferchfelsen. On Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, the club organizes a shuttle service starting at 1 PM on Saturdays and at 12 PM on Sundays and holidays. Access to the launch site via the forest road is restricted to vehicles with a permit. The cost for a day membership is 4 Euros, and the ride with the club bus is 3 Euros. Directions: From the A5 Freiburg, take the B294 towards Waldkirch, pass through Elzach, turn right after the Aral gas station towards Prechtal, and after approximately 1.5 km, turn right into the residential area (30 km/h zone). After 100 meters, turn left towards the landing field. For more information, visit the Elztalflieger website: [Elztalflieger Gschasi](http://www.elztalflieger.de/fluggelände/gschasi/) Landing Sites: L1 - Gewann Dürre/Neumattenacker: This landing site is about 3 km from the launch and is easy to navigate. Both hang gliders and paragliders land on the mowed field above or below the windsock. Note that the field slopes slightly to the northwest. L2 - Café Korber (Hang Glider Landing Site): Located about 100 meters west of the former Café Korber, this site is primarily used by hang gliders. The breakdown area is on the access road to Melcherle-Bauer at the southern part of the field. For further details, you can contact the site manager, Erwin Wahlenmeier, at +49 (0)7422/25471 or check the weather phone at the launch site: +49 (0)171/900 4833.
