Advent season in Bitterwasser

The Advent season has also arrived in Namibia.

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 first guests can arrive!

A stay at the Bitterwasser Lodge is usually beyond the financial means of young pilots. At the same time, the next generation is the key to the future of our wonderful sport—and of the lodge as well. That is why supporting young pilots is a core part of the Bitterwasser Flying Center’s mission.

Leveling the Landing Area

Early October is the ideal time to prepare the runways for flight operations. You can land at the Bitterwasser Flying Lodge in every which direction—depending on how you look at it, on 8 runways (plus one emergency runway), each in two directions. Jeremias carefully levels the landing area over the course of several weeks.
