The flight from the Wallberg, close to the lake Tegernseee, to Koessen is a challenge for XC beginners, or pilots like me which are new in this area. I guess the key point is to cross the Inntal valley, but I think on a good thermal day the task is manageable.
With ThermiXC, Bernd Gassner has provided us paragliders with an excellent tool to plan longer distances. How I want to increase my efficiency in cross-country flying with the help of this website in combination with other sources such as books, YouTube videos, magazines, blogs, etc., I explain in this post.
Sometimes choosing a suitable place to land isn't that easy, but if you want to fly cross country you can't be so choosy. This time I had to land between a high and medium voltage overhead line
To say it straight away, the yellow angel didn't appear to me to help with a breakdown.
It is always reported in various trade magazines and YouTube videos that the Pinzgauer walk is just a walk, but it is not made that easy.
It should be clear that lines are generally not the friend of paragliders. But overhead lines in particular pose a special danger, especially when they are as common as they are here in the Zillertal.
