Description
A young, Austrian Paraglider is just stepping off the plateau in the Austrian mountains above the city of Hallstatt and the beautiful mountain Lake Hallstatt.
He sits in his harness, waiting for the wind to lift him off the mountain plateau. After one false start, he flies free like a bird. There is a slightly lower plateau where, in an emergency, he could stop before flying off with thousands of feet down.
We had the pleasure of talking to him in the Gondola ride up to this part of the mountain, saw him prepare everything for flight, and then soar off into the distance. It was an unforgettable experience!
