Launch

Launchable in pretty much every direction, but steeper to the north and quite a few rocks, so it requires more experience and knowledge of the conditions. From Ramnskogheia you can also fly from Durmålshaugen (533 m asl) and Melakollen (370 m asl).

Landing

There is no fixed landing. You land on the bogs around the mountain, and where depends on which side you fly from. That is why no landing is marked on the map.

Always check the landing before you fly. If you land in a field, it must be agreed with the farmer, and the grass must not be tall.
