The Wasserkuppe is known far beyond the borders of Germany for its excellent gliding conditions. Thermal updrafts that gently glide over the hills provide a perfect basis for endless flights with model gliders.
Immerse yourself in the world of gliding and experience weightlessness over the gentle hills of the Wasserkuppe. The information board on the left at the entrance to the flying school shows you which slope is open.
