Hang gliding






















We came through what is called the "Große Saarschleife" ( the large Saar loop) It is a bend in the Saar that twists around a mountain doing more than 180 deg. turn before continuing on it's way south. It must be an ideal place for hang gliding, as we observed several hang gliders take off from a platform high above us on the edge of the mountain. The above pictures show one hang glider run down the sloped platform and take flight. We will call him "super Grover"
