Paragliding startoviště Kozákov

Amazing place with beautiful views of the surroundings.

Beautiful view, amazing place

Originally, I intended to stop on the way from Trosek to Semily in Kozákov only for a while, have a beer and continue, but in the end it was a 5-hour jam. It is fascinating to watch paragliders either up close on the starting field or from a great height on the gallery of the local lookout tower. In the field of view you have most of the Bohemian Paradise, in the distance the ruins of the Trosky castle throne and small contours of paragliding enthusiasts float freely across the sky. Starting point at an altitude of 744 m.n.m. it is oriented in two directions: south to west and consists of a large maintained grass area for at least 20 distributed parachutes. Less used is also the northern starting point to the left of the ski lift. The Kozákov lookout tower with its observation platform at a height of 24 m is clearly visible from all directions when arriving in this locality. The two most used landing areas at an altitude of 484 m above sea level. right next to the road are marked with a windsock. The paragliding school of the Czech representative Miroslav Stěhula offers a whole range of activities around paragliding, from lectures through demonstrations to introductory courses or "to obtain a license". For licensed pilots, it is possible to rent equipment here. It offers tandem flights as instructional or in the form of gift vouchers.
