Site briefing
Quite centrally located and easily reachable winch site close to the Duesseldorf urban area. Actively used whenever weather permits, also in moderate winter. Used by a club and a school. Can be crowded on good weekends, relatively expensive towing fees due to good location.
small grass field surrounded by agricultural field, not always nice when it has rained a lot recently
see above, plenty of alternative landings, this is flatlands

controlled airspace at 2500MSL from Duesseldorf airport (DUS), elevated to 3500MSL only south of Grevenbroich (10 km), beware of other airspace relating to Moenchgladbach and cologne (CGN) airports nearby. Therefore not an ideal site for XC!
