Best take off on Klinovec is the steepest slope (U Zabityho) leading to the NE side of the hill. This slope is widest and is not crossed by any cable-lift. If something goes wrong you just follow the slope to the landing place. 1225 meters above sea 1020 meters above sea It is most practical to land close to the bottom station of the lift so you can use the lift. It is currently possible to land on geen fields close to the public parking place 975 meters above sea - panoramic landing place is at the bottom of the slopes. It is possible to land on huge grass fields between Klinovec and Oberwiesenthal. Be warned that the cable lift ob the bottom of the slopes is not operational during summer and you will have to walk up to the parking place Take off can be reached by road - it is very close to the top of the Klinovec hill. From the roundabout between Bozi Dar and border crossing to Germany take the road 219 (SE exit). After cca 2km turn right and follow the local directions to 'Klinovec'. Another option is to park the car on the free parking place on the bottom of the northern side of the hilll and use the cable-lift to reach the top of the hill. In summer the lift is operated from 10-17. Price for the cable-lift is 60CZK (cca 2.5EUR)

As with any 'slope' take-off - watch out for the real direction of the wind, which might be quite different from what you feel on the ground. Just in front of the take of there are 3 wind-mills.
