Here is something completely new to me: Paragliders set up temporary
winch sites in interesting places.

Its not that 'interesting'.

The paraglider is winching to 800 feet and VFR traffic in this area is
restricted to 1000 feet and there was no NOTAM.

Agreed there was no NOTAM, but as nobody has yet said whether Sweden has
the same 60m un-notified launch height restriction as the UK, we don't
know whether Swedes would think this launch was out of order.

I think the location isn't very 'interesting' since its obviously a
permanent microlite site. As such, it should be known to the local
microlite and GA community as a place that should not be overflown low,
especially not straight down the main run.
