And despite daily temperatures of between 35 and 39 degrees, the atmosphere is cozy. The traditional Advent wreath has been given its very own African touch. The palm leaves from the lodge have been artfully arranged into a wreath. Now a new candle can be lit every Sunday.
Bitterwasser wishes you a wonderful first Advent!
The Bitterwasser Flying Lodge was the main sponsor of the Junior World Gliding Championships, where from August 2 to 17, 2026, around 80 pilots from 22 nations competed for the titles in the Standard and Club classes. The grand prize for the JWGC winners was a one-week stay at the lodge, including travel and an airplane.
Largely unnoticed by the public, the 5th Red Bull Global Aerial Performance Camp 2026 took place in Bitterwasser, Namibia, from April 21, 2026, to April 30, 2026.
A few videos and pictures on this page offer a glimpse of the athletes and their performances.
