"I still have goose bumps," says Reinhard Schramme. He said he had never seen such great weather at the beginning of the season.
On 25.10.23, Reinhard Schramme and Elmar Erik Fischer took off for the first flight of the Bitterwasser season around 12 noon. After initial blue thermals, clouds appeared after 1 hour in the north until shortly before Rehoboth. Promising thermals!
With an average of 200 km/h at times, the two of them managed a grandiose 973 km in the end.
But that was not enough!
The following day the team flew 898 km.
This is how the season should start!

A few videos and pictures on this page offer a glimpse of the athletes and their performances.
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.
