The 2025/26 Bitterwasser season is coming to an end
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.
At the invitation of Bitterwasser and Wilfried Grosskinsky, the two top pilots are currently in Bitterwasser, where they are coaching young, talented pilots as part of the renowned 1000 km camp. With their experience from international competitions and their successes at world-class level, they offer the participants valuable insights into flight tactics, route planning and performance optimization.
Wilfried Grosskinsky's 1000 km camp is known for promoting ambitious young talent and giving them the opportunity to learn from the best. The exceptional conditions in Bitterwasser provide the perfect backdrop to put what has been learned directly into practice.
The winner of the Bitterwasser Cup, 19-year-old Benedikt Waegele, who has already flown over 1200 km in the Alps in Germany, was selected for this coaching. Here in Bitterwasser he has the opportunity to prove his talent in Namibia and learn from the best.
Stefan Langer and Simon Schröder inspire not only through their successes, but also through their passion and desire to share their knowledge with the next generation. We are excited to see what success stories will emerge from this special collaboration!

In Europe Christmas is usually associated with cold temperatures, early sunsets and, in the best case scenario, snow. In Bitterwasser, the world looks very different.
