Event info

Welcome to Romanian Nationals, Romanian Cup 1st round, FAI2 paragliding competition.
The host town, Brasov, is part of the historical region of Transylvania, located in the heart of Romania.
We are sure you heard about the Flying Arena nearby. If not, this is your chance to see it. Try not to miss it!

Flying site

The Flying Arena is formed by The South Carpathians, The Sub Carpathians and the spectacular Brasov Depression. https://paragliding-romania.ro/
Main Takeoff: Bunloc, Sacele Brasov. Orientation: N, NW
https://paragliding-romania.ro/bunloc/
Access to the take off done by cable car (10 minutes).
Alternate Takeoff: Postavaru, Poiana Brasov, Brasov. Orientation: N, NW, S, SE
https://paragliding-romania.ro/postavaru/
Access to the take off done by car/bus (30 minutes) & cable car (15 minutes).

Brasov area offers many possibilities for flying: big XC tasks with flying above the Bran Castle (Dracula's Castle), exploring the highest peaks in Bucegi Mountains (2505 m), soaring the Piatra Mare Mountain (1800 m), or spreading out into the Brasov Depression, which works (in spring) almost like Cauca Valley in Roldanillo.
