The last ones are now leaving Bitterwasser

Now the time has come. The Joschko's also end their Namiba stay. Now it will be very, very empty. But the next season will come for sure.

In Bitterwasser it is as green as seldom. Who of the glider pilots can imagine that glider operation on the 09 would no longer be possible because of too high grass. On the picture Christa is standing on the 11 (Hoskia) in knee-high grass.

Soon Jeremias and his team will cut and collect the grass as fodder for the animals in worse times.

It was only a small season 2020/21 but it was very nice. There has already been a blog entry about the results.

The 2021/22 season is already casting its shadow. The booking requests are enormous. Therefore book as soon as possible at hog@bitterwasser.com

See you in the new season!

The gliding season in Bitterwasser turns up again

Although the season in Bitterwasser seems to be coming to an end in mid-January, the weather is at its best. Pilots from all over the world enjoy impressive thermals, breathtaking cross-country flights over 1000 km and a unique community.

1250 km palm tree for Dmitry Borovyk and Anton Minskii

The last season 2023/24 ended with a spectacular highlight for Dmitry Borovyk and Anton Minskii: on the very last day, they managed to fly around three declared turning points that cover an impressive distance of 1250 kilometers. This extraordinary achievement earned them the privilege of planting a palm tree in Bitterwasser - an honor only bestowed on the best pilots. One year later, the two are now returning to Bitterwasser to plant their palm tree in a festive ceremony in keeping with the old Bitterwasser tradition.
