Dragi kolege pilote!
Hello everybody!

My name ich Chris and I am a paragliding dude from Austria.
I am in Murter for vacation with my family from 29. Mai till 7. June and I am interested to fly around "Murter" next week.
I found the very nice looking mountain "Promina" where I want to fly because it´s only one hour to drive from Murter...

Maybe there is someone next week or on weekend who can pic me up around Drniš and show me this flight area.
Fly together with local people would be very nice!

Nice greetings to Croatia,

Hello Chris,


first I have to admit, I've never flown from Promina, but I just love the area. It got great potential. Take off is used for south and west winds (?) and the thermals are quite strong in area (did a weeeeeee! flight over mountain Dinara).

Hopefully some of the locals will contact you, if not Toni please give Chris some directions.

If everything fails, you can contact local enthusiasts who run the mountain lodge on Promina.

They showed me take off place and the area.

You have to be cautious, there are some areas, damn war leftovers, where is possibility of mines, but please, DO NOT LET TO DISCOURAGE YOU. Just remember, if you want to play on the PERFECTLY safe side, choose landing fields that are cultivated (there are more than enough landing fields) and avoid tall grass. For tricky areas check this map:

Again, all details you can get from locals, if not pilots than in mountain lodge.

If you have doubts now, just check these video clips AND GET YOUR ASS UPTHERE!

Hey Chris,

I am from Sibenik (but unfortunatley not there at the moment), as far as I know you can only find mines around the military base (which is probably abandoned).

There is also another flyable place, 20min S-E of Sibenik. It's called Orlice (509m) and there are wind turbines so you can't miss it. you colud take off on south side (and maybe north, never really thought about taking off north side).

The only problem is the landing area, if you can fly far enough to the sea (shouldn't be a problem, but judge by yourslef), there is a small meadow you can land (someone cleard this to bulid a house). I know Jerko Odzak landed on the road 2-3 times before this was cleared.

You don't have to walk for a minute cause you can get on the start with your car.

If you are interested I can send you directions.

Here's the pic from the top (start)

Oh, I forgot to mention that both above Promina and Orlice airliners fly pretty low, but people fly there anyway
