The landing field is located on the right side when driving from Hvittingfoss towards Kongsberg, about 1km from Hvittingfoss. You will find the road to take off about 1,5 km at RV32 from the roundabout in Hvittingfoss, direction Hof, small road on the left hand side, you can see the road barrier from the main road. The barrier is closed with a combination lock, you need the code to open it (ask local club or other pilots). The road goes all the way up to the take off, but only 4WD are allowed the last section (about 600 m). Start direction SE, S, SW. The landing might be turbulent, both thermal and mechanical. The landing field is partly surrounded by trees so during strong wind keep distance from the trees. This is one of the most popular paragliding sites in Norway and you will probably find pilots here whenever the conditions are good. Pilots at the landing will explain how to find the start and tell you what you need.

Main Upper Launch. Easy launch for all levels. From the toll road you will find a sign "PG path" that points up to the right - follow the path for 15min and you are on takeoff. Nice start that suits all levels. Some rocky areas amongst the heather. Main landing at the golf course. When taking off with a south-easterly you must start towards Solheisen. Fly to the right around the hill early, so that you have a good distance to terrain, mobile mast and high voltage. 60 NOK toll to access the launch. Altitude 1150m

Good starting conditions even with a lot of wind (exceptionally laminar). This is probably one of Norway's best takeoffs, especially for hang gliders. Great mountain ridge you can fly hang on, the thermal bubbles are large and calm with a lot of lift and this is a good starting point for distance trips. The place is great for pilots of all levels, and a great place to learn to fly hang, screw thermals or take their first distance trips. South-facing start at 1350 ASL. Two landing options, either directly in front by the road up (1000m ASL) or fly out to the valley and land near the Circle K gas station (450m ASL). Drive up on Flattron (150kr toll), first parking on the left, go southwest 100 meters and you will find the wind marker. 1- and 2-seater 1- and 2-seater Altitude 1312m
