Annenheim Paragliding Landing Field

A Paragliding Hub Beside Lake Ossiach

The Flieger-Base Annenheim is the official landing field for pilots flying over Lake Ossiach, run by the local paragliding club. Colorful gliders drift in from launch points on the surrounding ridgelines and settle onto this open grass meadow, marked with wind indicators and a landing target.

Gerlitzen Alpe and the Carinthian Ridgeline

Above the lake rises Gerlitzen Alpe, one of the region's best-known paragliding launch sites, its forested slopes giving pilots a long, scenic glide down to the valley floor. The rolling hills visible in the background are typical of this stretch of the Carinthian countryside.

Lake Ossiach: A Carinthian Gem

Lake Ossiach is one of Carinthia's largest lakes, prized for its clear water and gentle shoreline villages. Beyond paragliding, the surrounding area draws swimmers, sailors, and cyclists who follow the lakeside paths through orchards and quiet hamlets.

A Live View for Pilots and Visitors

Streaming around the clock, the camera lets pilots check wind conditions and field activity before launching, while visitors get a live window onto this corner of the Austrian Alps. It captures the everyday rhythm of the club's flying operations at ground level.
