Paragliders are lightweight, free-flying aircraft that consist of a fabric wing and a harness for the pilot. They are designed to glide through the air, allowing pilots to soar and enjoy the scenery from above. Paragliding is often done from hills or mountains, where pilots can take advantage of rising air currents to gain altitude. The wing of a paraglider is shaped like a parachute, but it is designed for forward flight. Pilots control their direction and altitude by pulling on lines attached to the wing, which changes its shape and angle. This sport is popular among adventure enthusiasts and offers a unique way to experience nature.
