After all containers arrived safe and sound in Bitterwasser, the gliders were assembled and made ready for takeoff.

Also the Bitterwasser team is now ready for takeoff!

The thermals in the sky are promising, the weather is very good and the anticipation of flying is great!

The whole team is looking forward to a great and thermally rich season!

The first guests can arrive!

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.

Leveling the Landing Area

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.
