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.
A stay at the Bitterwasser Lodge is usually beyond the financial means of young pilots. At the same time, the next generation is the key to the future of our wonderful sport—and of the lodge as well. That is why supporting young pilots is a core part of the Bitterwasser Flying Center’s mission.
Early October is the ideal time to prepare the runways for flight operations. You can land at the Bitterwasser Flying Lodge in every which direction—depending on how you look at it, on 8 runways (plus one emergency runway), each in two directions. Jeremias carefully levels the landing area over the course of several weeks.
