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!
In early September, the containers holding the gliders for the 2026/27 season were loaded in Waghäusel. Transported by trailer, truck, and cargo ship, the gliders are now on their long journey to Namibia, to the Bitterwasser Flying Lodge.
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.
