Feldwies
Allemagne · Bavaria
Feldwies, on the shores of Chiemsee in Bavaria, is a popular spot for its easy access and often flat water in the bay. It is a convenient place to kitesurf when the wind is right, with a very pleasant lake atmosphere for summer sessions.
The spot mainly attracts riders looking for a calm setting and easy launch, although the environment requires attention to obstacles near the shore. On good days, Feldwies offers comfortable and accessible kitesurfing, with real potential for progression.
There are trees, fences, and buildings near the launch area.
Launching is more delicate with onshore wind, as the usable space can quickly become limited.
The navigation area requires attention to other lake users and obstacles near the shore.
At Feldwies, the wind most often comes cross-shore to slightly onshore depending on the day's orientation, which provides a fairly wide navigation window but requires monitoring the launch area. The spot operates on a flat water surface in the bay, with water generally more consistent than on a large open lake, especially when the wind is stable.
The launch takes place on a sandy and gravel beach with a nice grassy area for rigging, which is comfortable for preparing equipment. However, the launch area remains technical due to obstacles near the shore, particularly the trees, fences, and buildings noted at the spot. Therefore, one must keep space, organize the kite well on the ground, and avoid tight launches with onshore wind.
The spot is more enjoyable when the wind is steady and moderate, as gusts quickly complicate the launching and returning phases. Kitesurfing mainly occurs in front of the beach and in the bay, with an environment that is better suited for already autonomous riders than for a first session without supervision.
