Und trotzdem, bei rund 35 Grad im Schatten weihnachtliche Gefühle zu entwickeln, ist schon schwer. Dafür liegen hier ganz andere Geschenke auf dem Gabentisch. Wo kann man sich schon an Heiligabend mit einem schönen Streckenflug eine Freude machen? Unser „Frohe Weihnachten!“ geht deshalb von einem ganz anderen Hintergrund aus an alle Freunde rund um den Erdball.
Although the season in Bitterwasser seems to be coming to an end in mid-January, the weather is at its best. Pilots from all over the world enjoy impressive thermals, breathtaking cross-country flights over 1000 km and a unique community.
The last season 2023/24 ended with a spectacular highlight for Dmitry Borovyk and Anton Minskii: on the very last day, they managed to fly around three declared turning points that cover an impressive distance of 1250 kilometers. This extraordinary achievement earned them the privilege of planting a palm tree in Bitterwasser - an honor only bestowed on the best pilots. One year later, the two are now returning to Bitterwasser to plant their palm tree in a festive ceremony in keeping with the old Bitterwasser tradition.
