It is more suitable for winter flights and is not highly recommended. Many flight logs are actually from other launch sites. This site, like all those on the Austrian side, is just a few meters away from the 'Top of Germany'.
Region: Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. The site record is 26.4 km, achieved near the Ehrwaldbahn station.
