Located in Buskerud, Norway, this paragliding site offers a takeoff at 347 meters above sea level. It's a regularly used spot, ideal for thermal soaring, with the potential for small cross-country flights. The airspace height ceiling is set at 1372 meters. The site is suitable for pilots with PP2/SP2 certification. Directions: If you're coming from Drammen on the E134, follow these steps: - To reach the landing zone, exit at Mjøndalen and navigate through the roundabouts, following signs towards Gulskogen on Riksvei 28. After 1 km, turn right onto Kristoffer Ryghs vei and drive down the gravel road that splits the fields. Turn left when you reach the farm and park at the end near the gravel pit. Avoid parking around the farm buildings. - To reach the takeoff, drive back towards Mjøndalen on Riksvei 36, Orkidéhøgda for 4 km. Before the hilltop, turn left onto Ryghseterveien/Solsetra, a small gravel road with a 20 NOK toll. Continue for a few hundred meters and park. The road to the northeast takeoff is gated, requiring a 15-20 minute walk. Follow the road, keeping left at the cabin, and after 700 meters, take a sharp left onto a path for the final hundred meters. Hang glider pilots can drive all the way in with a 4WD. Takeoff: The takeoff area has a grass surface, measuring 30 meters long and 15 meters wide, allowing multiple pilots to prepare their equipment simultaneously. The launch is relatively flat up to the ramp, with the center slightly elevated. Trees on both sides create a corridor, restricting the wind direction to northeast to east. After takeoff, there is ample clearance from the terrain, with only small trees and shrubs in a large depression. In the Air: If conditions are suitable for ridge soaring, you can fly towards Hviteberget to the left after takeoff or along Konnerudhenget if the wind is more northerly. In thermal conditions, the fields can generate large, smooth thermals. Watch the river for signs of sea breeze. Landing: The designated landing area is to the left of the takeoff near Gevelt gravel pit. Large fields are divided by a long gravel road. Paragliders must land on this gravel road, not in the fields during the growing season. Hang gliders have a separate agreement. A wind marker is located on the gravel road near the house. The gravel pit can cause some turbulence if the sea breeze is strong. Airspace and Height Restrictions: - The takeoff is at 344 meters above sea level. - The height limit (Hokksund B) is 1372 meters (4500 feet) over Sølfastøya towards Drammen, decreasing to 914 meters in a nearly straight north-south line. Hokksund A starts in Hokksund. - Ryghåsen is not typically a site where extra height is granted due to its poor starting point for long distances. However, for flights in Hokksund A and B, you must report your usage. Send a message before and after your flight to manage this. - The airspace boxes are opened by selected individuals in DROP and should not be opened by others. When the boxes are open, it will be announced via our SMS service, so make sure to subscribe. - Always have your radio on the NAK frequency (154.175) and be reachable by mobile if you plan to use extra height. - The boxes are only opened for pilots intending to fly long distances.
