I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the competition.... however, I must admit that this place is just made for the sport... Here's how the day goes around Abtenau: Get up check the weather and head to the nearest ski resort located favorably for the forecast winds. Ride the gondola or tram up to the top of the mountain.... pick the grassy hillside launch that suits you for the day.... Have a bite to eat if you need it.... Thermal or fly xc to your hearts content and then land well, hmmm, maybe just about anywhere....more than likely near wherever it is that you're staying...
