I've been flying since...
2003.
Paragliding means for me...
a lot - a wonderful hobby, to be free in and with nature, great for switching off.
My favorite flying area is...
the Hausstein in the Bavarian Forest.
My most beautiful flying moments/highlights were...
taking off for the very first time, over-elevating the terrain for the very first time in the Alps, circling in a cloud with the birds. And also my longest flight: 245 km free route from Hausstein to just before Würzburg.
My personal greatest successes are...
1st place, 2nd place and 4 x 3rd place in the women's ranking of the DHV-XC and 1st place in the women's ranking of the German cross-country championship in Piedrahita in 2008.
I fly UP paragliders because...
I feel very comfortable with it; because the performance, handling and safety simply match.
Currently, the models I fly...
Summit XC 4.
What I particularly like about the glider is...
the great handling! It shows you exactly where the beard is, it looks great, I feel very safe with the Summit and it performs very well for its class!
