About Brauneck

Munich's home mountain: a cable car, launches for three wind directions and big landing fields in Lenggries.

For intermediate pilots

The Brauneck above Lenggries is Munich's home mountain: an hour's drive from the city, with a cable car and launches facing north, south and east.

From about midday the valley wind blows up the Isar valley. It keeps the south launch flyable into the evening, but makes the east launch at Garland turbulent. The landing fields are in Lenggries, at the valley station.

Flying schools work here all season, so the launches can be busy on weekends.

  • Cable car from Lenggries
  • Launches for north, south and east winds
  • 855 m height difference
  • An hour from Munich
