Site briefing
Planning information for Königstuhl
Take-off
NW only. Verbose 4h+ briefing mandatory due to the site's delicate location and the hard LZs south of the Neckar. If you stay in Heidelberg just for a couple days, chances are you won't get to fly here. This restriction was necessary to allow flying above one of the world's most famous castles in the first place, so please respect it and visit the club's website to arrange for a briefing.
Landing
Easy, but on the far side of the Neckar. There some south of the Neckar, but you don't really want to use these.
Access and parking
By car next to the takeoff, cable car, or bus (station "Königstuhl")
Local weather notes
Straight NW only.
