What a start to the season!
The early birds did it. Elmar Fischer and Reinhard Schramme struck in the first few days. Here is Elmar's report:
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!

On the weekends of September 6/7, 2025, and September 13/14, 2025, 30 gliders were loaded into seven containers to begin the long journey to Bitterwasser, Namibia.
All gliders are very well booked. There are still a few slots available at the beginning of November. If you are interested, please contact hog@bitterwasser.com.
