Contact Person: Johan Ahlberg 031-225396
Launch: Cliff launch
Landing: Land to the right on the fields, emergency landing to the left in the bay.
For Hang Gliders: Good launch, flyable between NW-NE, but it becomes turbulent if the wind is too cross, especially from the NE as it comes more from the mainland. Land on the field opposite the bird-watching parking area. Note that the bay is a bird protection area.
