The paragliding side 'Kanin' can be reached from Bovec by gondola (440m-2210m). I had passed this site a couple of times while driving to/ flying from Mangart. But for many years the gondola has not been operating in summer.
In order to reach launch, one has to descend about 100m, but this is rather trricky as it is all very loose gravel and the risk of slipping with the backpack is rather high. There is an other launch at 1700m, which can be reached more easily.

Like yesterday perfect conditions on launch, but today it has been more stable and later some high clouds moved in: after 45 minutes I had to land.
The LZ (unfortunately) is quite distant from the gondola station, as there is a small aerodrome with a grass strip at Bovec, used by sailplanes and skydivers.
