The appropriate national flag is hoisted for all guests who come to Bitterwasser! And many nations are already represented at the start of the season. There are currently 11 different countries at the lodge.
Many different cultures come together to share a common passion, gliding.
As a result, the get-together and flying in Bitterwasser is always very diverse!
We are happy about every new flag that can be hoisted here!
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.
