Christmas in Bitterwasser – at 33°C and glorious sunshine
In Europe Christmas is usually associated with cold temperatures, early sunsets and, in the best case scenario, snow. In Bitterwasser, the world looks very different.
Once again, it was “full house” during loading this year. Thanks to the excellent preparation by the Bitterwasser team, everything went smoothly. The loading site in Waghäusel near Bruchsal is ideal for this purpose.
Bitterwasser is more fully booked than ever before this season. The first bookings for 2026/2027 have already been made.
The brand-new Bitterwasser ARCUS with the competition registration RL was also loaded. The glider has not yet taken off, except for the acceptance flight. It is fully booked at Bitterwasser.
Everything is still empty.
It's filling up.
Four double-seaters per container.
One truck for each container. Off to Rotterdam.
All containers gone. Until February 2026. Then they'll all be back.
