The 2025/26 Bitterwasser season is coming to an end
At around 2 p.m. on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, the first truck carrying one of our seven containers set off. This marked the end of another impressive gliding season in Bitterwasser.
The flight office is already preparing at 7:30 am. And the restaurant is also in the starting blocks.
The breakfast buffet opens at 8:30 am. A large selection gives all visitors to Bitterwasser a good start to the day.
The morning briefing starts at 9 am. Updrafts, thermals and clouds are presented in various graphics.
Strengthened with food and knowledge, it's off to the gliders.
One by one, the gliders roll into the pan and then take off into the vastness of the Kalahari Desert.
Have a good flight!
