Take-off description
It is near second parking (not official) a bit to the right (see the GPS data). Launch is triky because you inflate a wing in the lee. Better to use A and B riser technique if you know how. Take off only if you are sure to soar the cliff otherwise it would be difficult to find landing down.
Getting there
It is easy! You do not have to turn anywhere! Drive from Tallinn via Rannamoisa road till you see TURISALU sign and the road goes up. That is the cliff you are about to fly! It is possible to come by bus.
Weather
Do not launch with wind exceeding 7-8 m/s! The perfect wind direction for this spot is from about 340° (NNW).
Comments
As landing and launch are not within the glide of a paraglider you must launch only when conditions allow to soar and then either top land or glide to the beach having enough altitude. NOTE an example flight below!
