Take-off description
Small forest aisle, decent head wind required.
Getting there
Hike&Fly. According to the sign you can drive there as well.
Weather
Very suspectible to wind overflowing from the rhine basin. If you have moderate meteo wind from the east, but south wind in the rhine basin, the rhine basin will win and turn the takeoff into a lee side.
Rules / airspace
There don't seem to be any non obvious ones, except: Additional random person at takeoff mandatory, to call emergency services if required. See takeoff sign in pictures section.
Comments
Soaring, east. XC is difficult because this is area usually below the rhine basin inversion, or gets humid air from there. It's one of these takeoffs you use when you're in the area anyway, but none you'd travel miles for.
