Flight Details
For an easy flight, start by soaring above the forest. With a northwest wind, you can climb smoothly. Only fly over the city if you have sufficient altitude.
Difficulty
The landing area by the lake requires flying over the city. Ensure you have enough altitude for a safe crossing. If not, turn back in time and land at the emergency landing spot near the large building with sports facilities. Avoid losing altitude too far out over the lake. Be cautious of the high-voltage wires near the train station.
Special Features and Webcam
The 'Altrhein' airport is nearby (CTR zone). When gliders are flying, there is usually no airline traffic. Soaring conditions between the highway and the forest edge are excellent. Watch for birds of prey as reliable thermal indicators.
