Loading of gliders in 2025

On the weekends of September 6/7, 2025, and September 13/14, 2025, 30 gliders were loaded into seven containers to begin the long journey to Bitterwasser, Namibia.

All gliders are very well booked. There are still a few slots available at the beginning of November. If you are interested, please contact  hog@bitterwasser.com.

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.
