The closest site to the seacoast where it is possible to carry out flights is the city beach of Nagaievo. The length of the beach is 2 kilometers, with widths from 6 meters up to 20 meters. There is a road to the beginning of the jump point. The summit rises from a height of 18 up to 36 meters. Further soft streams smoothly lift the paraglider up to 400 meters and makes for an easy touch down on a beach, or with sufficient skills - back on summit. The air stream rising from the sea is 50-80 meters deep. During your flight, you will enjoy the company of the many seagulls.

For additional variety there is the frequently arising fog that dims visibility, together with solar beams creating tremendous optical effects, but not enough to be dangerous. In all the years of flying on Njukle there has been no tragic accidents caused by weather conditions. Nuklja allows to paraglide at any level with full comfort. The start is carried out on a good trampled down platform from height of 50 m, landing on the beach for the novice. For the pilot of average skill - back were you started or land further back where there are extensive fields. To really test one's skills, there is the fog. Very frequently it forms in a few minutes on the coast and stretches inland. The pilot needs to be on the look out for coastal features, so as not to lose direction, and finally a courageous to dive from the clear weather and pure sky into a curling haze. After 10 minutes of flight, streamlets of water condensate and flow in to your sleeves. An adventurers dream! The fog can be punched through in 1-2 minutes, opening to clear visibility for landing.
