Overview

Padea is a flying site in Romania with a recorded launch elevation of 97 m. No launch directions are recorded yet.

Approx 50m high by 500m wide embankment overlooking the Jiu River. Cliff launch with a few slope bits. Faces NE-SSE. Downhill right up to the river, so landings will probably have to be crosswind if you don't top-land. Source: ParaglidingEarth
