Over the last ten years eight starting points for hang gliders have been set up in the area of Buzet, Učka and Ćićarija. They are ideal for large competitions, enabling flights all over central Istria – in the west to Buje-Buie, in the south to Žminj, in the north to the Slovenian border, and in the east all the way to Mt. Vojak. Owing to the mild Mediterranean climate, the flying season starts at the beginning of February and ends in November. This June you have a chance to attend the European championship where 130 pilots from 30 countries will compete!
