Nord takeoff sites (NNW-NNE)on top of the mountain. The N Site is litte smaler but also feasable with a tandem. German pilots need a B-Licence to fly here because its a longer way to the landing field. Both sites are also very good for hanggliders. The Landing area is near the small village Lipburg. You will need min. 5.5 to reach the landing zone. The Landing field is near the cemetery on top of the hill beside. The filed is marked by a windsock. By Car - 30 KM away from Basel(CH) and Freiburg (D). You could get a lift with othe pilots . Meeting point is on the cemetery Lipburg every full and half hour. Be carefull about TMA and CTR from Basel Mulhouse (BSL). Look to the ICAO card on the Homepage. The TMA-Basel Zone crosses the Hochblauen from south to north. Westside Hochblauen is a Zone with max hight 5500MSL (1630m). To fly higher until FL100 (3050m)you need to orientate eastside , Long way to the landing field - you do not see it from starting area.
