About this audio guide
This guide to Tegelberg, the mountain above Schwangau near Füssen, is about the air: the winds that have drawn hang-glider pilots to this slope since the nineteen seventies, what they prize and what they warn each other about. It turns on one August day in twenty eleven, when the cable car was carrying visitors up as usual. Best heard at the launch point beside the mountain station, looking along the cable line.
