PARAGLIDING PETROVAC – TAKE-OFF: BULJARICA
If you’re searching for a genuine adrenaline adventure that combines breathtaking natural beauty with the thrill of flight, paragliding over Petrovac, launching from Buljarica, is an experience you’ll never forget! Our take-off site is perched at an impressive 670 meters above sea level, high above the charming coastal town of Petrovac. From this vantage point, the stunning Adriatic coastline unfolds beneath you, offering panoramic views of Buljarica and Petrovac beaches, surrounded by olive groves and pine forests. As you glide through the air, the horizon stretches endlessly where the sky and sea merge into deep blue serenity.
How to Reach the Take-off Point?
Your journey to this thrilling launch site begins on the old scenic road from Petrovac to Podgorica, crossing the legendary Paštrovačka Gora (Paštrovačka Mountain). The first 12 kilometers offer a picturesque drive through Montenegro’s untouched nature. Afterward, you’ll turn onto a rugged 3-kilometer mountain track, accessible only by 4x4 vehicles.
For adventure seekers who prefer a more active approach, there’s also a 20-minute hike to the take-off site—perfect for combining a little trekking with your flying experience. Whether you’re an experienced paragliding pilot or a visitor eager to try a tandem flight with us, we highly recommend choosing this launch site. Flying above unspoiled landscapes, far from the crowds and popular tourist routes, provides a truly personal and intimate experience. Winds & Flying Conditions The best conditions for take-off are during southern, southeastern, and southwestern winds (S, SE, SW). For those who like precision, here are the GPS coordinates:

Take-off Site Features
Buljarica launch site is raw and wild. The terrain is rocky, the take-off strip is short, and it requires experience. That’s why we recommend it for advanced pilots. However, for those in search of excellent thermal potential and dynamic flying conditions, this spot offers an exceptional adventure.
Landing Options
After soaring through the sky and embracing the freedom of flight, you can land directly on the spacious Buljarica beach—an ideal place to relax and refresh. Alternatively, you can land on the grassy meadows near the Buljarica campground, which is especially convenient for visitors traveling by camper van and looking to immerse themselves in the natural surroundings.
