Altena with its flying field Altena-Hegenscheid and the hilly, woody surrounding offers those who love flying the ultimate sense of freedom.
Altena is probably one of the most northern locations within Germany that offers ideal mountains that allow a foot launch for hang-gliders and paragliders. Gliders can even opt between a launch from the mountain in two directions or a launch by winch.
Beginners can go on a paragliding tandem flight with experienced paragliders or start a regular course.
Whether it concerns dragon trikes, paraplanes or motorised ultralight aircrafts - they can all take off and land here. In this way the sky above Altena as flight sport paradise is accessible for all those who want to fly high. Aero club Altena Hegenscheid looks forward to welcoming guest flyers and even allows camping on site.
The easiest way to enjoy the sight up in the air is by having a pilot fly. Aero club Altena-Hagenscheid offers round trips with experienced pilots,
