Parapente Voynagovo Tzarkvishte Войнягово/Църквище

The site is located on the northern ridge descending from Mount Karasivri in the Sredna Gora mountain range, Bulgaria. Access to the takeoff is from the highest point on the road between the villages of Voynyagovo and Kliment. A dirt road branches off to the south and climbs the ridge to the takeoff point from the east. The upper half of this road is passable with a 4x4 vehicle but is quite overgrown on the sides. Upon reaching the ridge, a meandering and somewhat obscure trail leads north along the ridge. Landing zones are the meadows below the takeoff area. The site is best used in strong northwest (NW), north (N), and northeast (NE) winds. Interestingly, strong NE winds can break through at Beklemeto and reach the launch site as NW winds. The site works well around noon. In the afternoon, the NW wind usually strengthens, moving clouds and thermals south from the summit of Sredna Gora, leaving the northern slopes with broken and dispersed thermals. To assess the wind conditions at the start, it is advisable to check the wind at the turnoff from the highest point of the asphalt road between Voynyagovo and Kliment. The strongest gusts there are usually similar to the lulls at the takeoff. Flights have been made here in over 100 km/h NW winds at Botev, but the stratification of the atmosphere is also crucial. For flying, combine soaring with thermals to climb to the peak of Mount Karasivri. When flying cross-country, follow the ridge of Sredna Gora. Further south, conditions generally stabilize. The most challenging area is around and after Pesnopoy/Banya before reaching Brezovo. Be cautious with fire, as there has been an incident of forest fire in the past.
