Bitterwasser Tiger

Gato and Gina moved to Bitterwasser last year. The cats are siblings and conquer the Kalahari Desert every day from the lodge.

After being raised in the flight office, they now sneak between the bungalows and the palm tree avenue.
During the day, they sleep in the flight office and watch the daily flight activities. They enjoy being stroked and seek lots of attention.

At dusk, the two then set off on the hunt for small prey. Grasshoppers, mice and moths - nothing is safe from them.

The Long Journey to Africa

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.

Winner Club Class

Two new world champions are heading to Bitterwasser!

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.
