Although Denmark is a relatively level country, fine possibilities for practising windglidig do exist. 'Dansk Drageflyver Union' (Dansk Union of Windgliders) provides references to suitable localities. As a rule, the union has arranged with the local plot owners that a slope or some other suitable place involved may be used. The Danish Hang-gliders' Association has winding facilities at Fasterholt near Brande (Jutland), as well as at Skjoldnæsholm at Kirke Valsø on Sealand. A valid certificate is required as well as proof of third party liability insurance. As equipment cannot be rented in Denmark, be sure to bring your own equipment.

Parachute jump can be practised several places in Denmark. A valid international certificate is required.
