50 meters above the karkogel-bahn top station
the landing-field near the karkogel on the left side, after the farmer-house. is often difficult to land, because of thermical turbulences. you can use also the landing field of our shool, which is in the 'au' where the red marker is positioned.
after starting, first hold on 45° to the right, and above the 'kohlhof-restaurant' or a little bit higher on, you can fly to the 'köpfl' where soaring is easy. Please don´t fly above the lake (ded. south, it´s for the snowmachines) becouse of the deer.
