The exact name of the launch site is Velká lúka. The take-off is from a large, but not too steep, mountain meadow, with ski lift cables running along its right side. To reach the take-off, you need to go through Vrútky and then turn up towards the Turiec camp. Less than a kilometer past the camp, turn right and follow a winding road for 10 kilometers to reach the sports center, which consists of mountain huts and a parking lot. From there, you can walk along the ski lifts to the top. For more adventurous and wealthier pilots (especially hang gliders), another option is to ignore the entry prohibition and continue less than 2 kilometers up to the transmitter at the summit. The take-off point is about 200 meters east of the transmitter, near the upper stations of the ski lifts. Landing is on a relatively spacious meadow at coordinates N49°06.459' E18°54.194', about 200 meters from the Turiec camp, right next to the local cemetery. Unfortunately, the number of pilots already buried there is unknown. Before heading up, it is advisable to carefully inspect the landing area, as it is surrounded on two sides by numerous wires of various voltages. The distance from the take-off to the landing is 6 kilometers, and the highest poles with the highest voltage wires are inconveniently located on the approach side. Start direction: East Wind azimuth: 40° - 120° Elevation: 1430 meters MSL Height: 980 meters For more information, visit: [Martinske Hole - Velká lúka](https://www.paragliding-mapa.cz/startovacky/detail/94/martinske-hole-velka-luka)
