Paragliding
Altena is probably one of the most northerly points in Germany where there are still ideal flying hills that allow hang-gliders and paragliders to take off on foot. Flyers can even choose between launching from the mountain in two directions at once or launching from the winch.
Newcomers can get a taste of the heights on a tandem paragliding flight with experienced air sports enthusiasts or take flight training themselves.
Microlight flight
Whether hang-gliders, motorized paragliders or motorized microlights - they can all take off and land here. This makes the air above Altena a flying paradise for all air sports enthusiasts. The Aero-Club Altena Hegenscheid e.V. welcomes guest pilots and even invites them to camp on the site.
Motorized aircraft
The easiest way to enjoy the landscape from high above is simply to take a seat in one of the planes. The Aero-Club Altena-Hegenscheid e.V. is happy to arrange sightseeing flights with experienced pilots.
