history
In the 1930s there was already a gliding school on Radersberg near Daun , which was closed after the war ended in 1945. In 1957, an aeroclub was founded by regional pilots and a glider flight area was set up on the Senheld, which is now operated by the glider club Vulkaneifel eV. The place was gradually expanded. In 1977 the slope was paved. After only winch starts were initially possible, there was also the possibility of a tow start.
