The little zoo

Perhaps someone still remembers the little cats that were born two years ago on Bitterwasser in the workshop. The remaining two, Catherine and Paul live since then on the farm Olifants Water West of Eckhart .

We visited Eckhart and found them both in great shape.

On the left is Katharina and on the right Paul.

 

Baki, the young springbok and the four ostriches have been released in the meantime. Since all of them are very territorial, they can often be seen at the waterhole. But they have become much more shy. Baki only allows us to get within 2 meters of him and the ostriches now keep a distance of about 20 meters.

In the background you can see the ostriches.

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.
