Palava - Stolová hora, Czech Republic Elevation: 458 meters above sea level Height Difference: 120 meters Start Direction: Southwest to West (SW-W) Wind Azimuth: 205° - 295° Thermal Soaring: Good Cross-Country (XC) Potential: Some This site is frequently used and offers good thermal soaring conditions with some potential for cross-country flights. The official flying is for members only. Landing back at the start is not allowed. Access to the launch site is from the village of Klentnice. You can park your car at the kiosk located at the southern end of the village. From there, head about 50 meters north to the intersection near Hotel Blanka, turn left onto the side road leading to the local football field. Follow the red tourist trail to Stolová hora. After about 200 meters, turn right onto a well-trodden path leading to the summit. The launch area is marked by two poles and is oriented for SW-W winds. Please respect the agreed rules and stay on the designated paths and preparation areas. For SW winds, the entire 40-meter width of the launch site can be used. For W winds, move to the northern edge of the launch site. The start must be executed quickly as the slope changes to a rocky cliff after a few meters. Wind speed at the launch should not exceed 6 m/s. The terrain allows for ridge soaring and is suitable for thermal flying and cross-country flights. The usable space for ridge soaring is small, so maintain safe distances and give priority to the pilot with the ridge on their right.
