Relaxing day, just 150km and the weather should be very good.... In reallity the weather was not very good.... warm air caused the thermals to get weak and caused large blue holes.... very interesting was, that the bad thermal area south of Erz (Ore) Mountains, which is included in the thermal map from www.glidinghotspots.eu, showed a large blue hole.. dead air.. it areeed!!! ... I decided to fly around... the whole flight was a zig-zack... but there was lots to see on the ground... great sight seeing day :-)

Morning after the front

Flight school... there many rooms for many guests

Packing of tent and air bed... when sitting on it its very flat

Liberec

Over the Elbe river... the long lake on the left is a race track for boats (e.g. kajaks)

Brown coil mines south of Erz Mountains... ě=km north of Rana

Rana airport

Rana is home of many pilots who love vintage gliders. The model shown here is being build right now... wings and fuselage structure are nearly ready

The hill in the background is used by paragliders... some were flying all eveing.
