Paragliding in the Alps (1/2)

, ,

This time flying w/o engine power :up: . New impression ... and really impressive! 40 minutes flight starting at Nebelhorn (2224 m), via Geißfuß and Gaisalphorn (1953 m), then crossing the valley to the Schattenberg, flying over Oberstdorf and back to earth.
You can see the GPS plot in the next picture of this blog.

On Helgoland-Düne (EDXH) with regulation lifejacket and insight the Juist (EDWJ) Tower.
It was a beautiful flight with a Cessna 172 to the coast and further on to the Helgoland island, and also a perfect flying over the East Frisian Islands. Overnight stay on Juist.
