Pitch flight school Dolmar
A meadow at the foot of Dolmar near Kühndorf, plus gravel for those who prefer firmer ground. Pitches are assigned based on view: towards the mountain or across to the Rhön. The host won't reveal more than that. In the morning, wind sweeps across the open slope; otherwise it's quiet. The name comes from the flying school at Dolmar – the peak rises directly above the meadow. Afternoons bring paragliders circling over the slope. Evenings: wide open vistas. Erfurt is 57 kilometers away.1

Sights in the area1
Dolmar
A free-standing basalt cone above the foothills of the Thuringian Forest, long used by glider pilots; the climb fits neatly before breakfast.
Rhön
An upland range with open plateaus west of the Werra, straight ahead from the pitch; the Wasserkuppe counts as the cradle of German gliding.
Erfurt Old Town
The state capital with its Krämerbrücke and Severikirche lies about 57 kilometres away; the standby when the wind is too strong on the hill.
Drachenschlucht
A narrow rock gorge near Eisenach in the Thuringian Forest, in places only shoulder-wide; sturdy shoes are needed, wet feet usually follow.
