A beautiful welcoming airfield in the German hills. Fuel Eu 2.26 a litre.
The area is quite hilly and I kind of expected the airfield to be at the bottom of a valley but in fact it is on top of a hill and, aided by GPS, I spotted it by noticing the control tower peeking between two other hills. On landing, this proved to be a beautiful, friendly small airfield used mostly for gliding but with some based powered types. I proudly thought that we would be a rare foreign visitor but not long after us a French registered TB landed.
Cash required for fuel. Pleasant cafe where we had coffee and cake. We might have stayed the night but the on-site accommodation is reserved for glider pilots).
