Bora blows, and you want to fly?
Pećnik is then good choice for you.

Location:
Take off and flying area is behind town Opatina on the eastern slopes of mountain Učka. If it is good not stable day and bora is not strong, chances for good flight are great. Wind direction is East. When we have in Kvarner Bora (N wind) on the eastern slopes of Učka we have sea breeze which also produces thermals so you can take off on it.

To get there go with main troad to tunel Učka. Just before tunel stop on parking place. On the eastern side there is a small hill and on the top is take off. You have to walk to top. 20 minutes of walk.
