Hang-gliding, Bir

Since its introduction in 1980, Hang-gliding has become a popular sport in Bir. The launch site for hang-gliding is in Billing, which is 14 km away from Bir, while Bir acts as the landing site. Since 1984, Bir-Billing hosted three international and five national hang-gliding events. An Aero Sports Complex in Bir, run by the HTDC, provides training in this new sport.
