Hesselberg, located in Bavaria, Germany, offers a popular paragliding site with an elevation of 653 meters and a height difference of 153 meters. This site is frequently used for soaring and thermal flying, making it a good option for cross-country flights. To fly here, you need a restricted pilot's license (A-Schein). Guest pilots must obtain a day or annual membership, which can be purchased at Gasthof Rötter in Gerolfingen. The day membership costs €5, while the annual membership is €70. Since 2010, a sticker must be placed on your helmet, which you can get directly at the issuing point. Hesselberg supports flights in both southern and northern winds, with a height difference of approximately 190 meters on both sides. The takeoff and landing areas are beginner-friendly, although a proficient reverse launch technique is recommended on the south side. The site is a popular recreational area, especially on weekends, attracting bus travelers, families, hikers, model airplane enthusiasts, and children flying kites. Therefore, caution is advised during all takeoffs and landings. Guest pilots are welcome, but it is essential to follow the rules to ensure the site remains open for everyone.
