relatively narrow forest aisle
Traditional site of the hang gliding club Loffenau with a launch site in northwest direction (Schneisenstart) and a spacious launch site in west direction. The west site is suitable for beginners and offers a great view over the northern Black Forest. Both launch sites are located in the forest. Therefore, only launch when there is a clear downwind, so that the trees in front can be flown over safely and with sufficient altitude. All pilots need an initial briefing by the club. The nature conservation regulations must be observed. In particular, the nature reserve "Lautenfelsen" may not be overflown. The bird sanctuary must be overflown with at least 300 m. The landing site in Loffenau is somewhat hanging. The road at the landing site must be flown over with sufficient altitude. Cross-country flights in the direction of Pforzheim are possible with sufficient base altitude. Since a lot of forest has to be flown over, sufficient departure altitude is needed.

1. take-offs may only be carried out in clearly safe weather conditions. Crosswind or tailwind launches are not permitted. Each pilot takes off on his own responsibility.
2. the take-off area must be designed in such a way that the emerging vegetation still allows a safe overflight. Decisive for the take-off area west is the statement of the DHV to the city of Gernsbach of Jan. 13, 2016 in connection with an approval by the city of Gerns-bach as well as the LRA Rastatt. All measures must be coordinated in each case with landowner and forestry office.
3. training flights may only be carried out in suitable weather conditions. The student pilots must be supervised by an instructor or an assistant instructor at the take-off and landing site. A secure radio link to the student pilot must be available. 4.
4. the departure to the landing area must be made in time and with sufficient altitude.
5. overflight of the road in the landing area must be made with sufficient altitude. When approaching vehicles and persons on the road, the final approach shall be made at an appropriate altitude.
6. top landings: Top landings on the takeoff area are permitted only when laminar wind conditions ensure a safe approach and no persons at the takeoff area are endangered. Simultaneous takeoffs and top landings are not permitted. Pilots must have sufficient practical experience and knowledge regarding top landings.
All pilots (club members and guest pilots) must be informed about the conditions in the area by a sign on the take-off area and on the club homepage. All guest pilots need an obligatory one-time briefing by suitable persons from the club.
8) Loffenau with its residential areas must be flown over with sufficient altitude. Low overflights over residential areas are not permitted. 9.
9. the adjacent bird sanctuary and the capercaillie habitat may only be overflown at a minimum altitude of more than 300 m.
10) The overflight of the nature reserve "Lautenfelsen" is forbidden according to the nature reserve regulation § 4 Abs. 2 Nr. 24.
The nature reserve (condition no. 10) and the bird sanctuary (condition no. 9) are to be mapped on a sign at both take-off sites at the take-off area.
A concept is to be submitted to the Rastatt District Office as to how additional individual traffic can be limited for the Teufelsmühlengipfel and what parking facilities are to be provided for the pilots. A "shuttle service" by the association is to be strived for.
The building permit of the city of Gernsbach for the construction of the take-off area west and the permit for the construction of a shelter and rescue equipment hut is to be implemented accordingly.
(14) The compensatory measure A1 provided for in the nature conservation expert opinion: clearing the block protection heaps in the neighboring Lautenfelsen NSG of spruce/Douglas fir growth on approx. 2 ha is to be carried out by the association.
After completion of the compensatory measure in the Lautenfelsen nature reserve, but at the latest by the end of 2016, a report with documentation on the implementation of the compensatory measure is to be submitted to the lower nature conservation authority.
Maintenance work in the launch site area (e.g. keeping natural woody succession low) is to be carried out outside the bird breeding season. 17.
17. the letters of the District Office Rastatt dated 16.09.2014 and 30.10.2014 are decisive for the construction of the launch site and the design and maintenance. The conditions are part of this permit.
18. the use of the forest area is at your own risk. The use of the launch site must be carried out in such a way that the forest community is not disturbed, the forest is not endangered, damaged or polluted and the recreation of others in the forest is not impaired. 19.
19. in order to protect the forest from fire hazards, the lighting of a fire is prohibited, see § 41 LWaldG. Smoking is not allowed in the forest in the period from March 01 to October 31 (§ 41 (3) LWaldG). Burning or smoldering objects must not be thrown away or handled carelessly (§ 41 (4) LWaldG). This also applies to the starting area.
20) Organized events require the approval of the lower forestry authority, see § 37 (2) LWaldG.
21. driving on the rescue access road is only allowed for rescue purposes, otherwise it is not allowed without special authorization. This condition as well as the conditions regarding the use of the forest (events, smoking ban, etc.) and the operational conditions (flight operation conditions, nature conservation restrictions) are to be included in a corresponding site regulation and coordinated with the DHV and the lower forestry authority.
The use of multicopters (drones) or motorized model aircraft and motorized paragliders at the Loffenau airfield is not permitted for reasons of species protection and flight safety.
