Airfield review Salzgitter Schaeferstuehl EDVJ

This is a cute little airfield with a lot of activity.   When we landed gliders were out and about, others were preparing to be winched and there were a lot of parasenders preparing to jump off the hill.

It's a nice well tended little 950m grass runway.  Despite a whole heap of people being around everyone kept very much to themselves, so it took us a while to work out where to pay our landing fee (€6) before the short walk into town (about 2km).  It's a pretty little town, very quiet on a Sunday, with about 5 gelati shops.

Day flight to Bad Salzgitter - sleepy hamlet with great gliding and icecream

Bad Salzgitter is very active with gliders and paragliders

all four of us with the plane

What was meant to be a short walk into town....  Note Kerstin's fabulous box shaped earrings.

We tested all four icecream shops in town, this is the one that got our vote.

my inner spotter couldn't resist this old fully open cockpit glider (hanging from the ceiling).

Kerstin looking almost like she's enjoying the flight
