What fabulous place to fly gliders from, and in one of the prettier parts
of Germany too.

Never mind Google, read the book! Its part of Larry Niven's 'Tales of
Known Space' - if you like that one, there is more because the series
includes six short story collections and another six novels, all set in
the same space-time arena and sometimes sharing characters.

No warnings here (Firefox 26.0 on Fedora 20 with AdBlock 2.0.9 and
Ghostery 5.1.0 extensions installed).

What extensions are you using?

Here is the unshortened URL. It is to the Dutch google maps site so the abbreviated link might look strange to USA based browsers. (A Dutch guy helped me find Farrenberg as the USA based Google Maps was no help.)

Here is the full link.

But unlike Mount Lookitthat if you under or overshoot at least they can recover you and the glider...
