Take-off description
From ski-slope just below the Javorovy Chata. It is wide enough to put 3 gliders at the same time. Getting to takeoff: zake ski-lift (9-17 on round hours, 60KC, buy ticket directly from the operator on the platform, cash only, no credit cards, no english speaking personnel). After arriving to the top, take the wide footpath to the right. Follow it and before going up the slope towards Chata take the small footpath to the right in the forest, and walk 5min until you arrive on a big skislope with Chata and antenna visible on the top. Alternatively, you can alsdo pass Chata and then descend to the launching area.
Weather
be careful with westerlies. If on the landing it is windy and on takeoff calm - the takeoff will be on leeward side. Expect turbulence just after the takeoff, and may be better reconsider flying at all on that day.
