What Travelers Love
  • Scenic Location: The airfield boasts a beautiful setting at the foot of the "blue mountains" near the Thuringian Forest, making it a popular destination not just for pilots but also for hikers and cyclists.
  • Excellent Facilities for Air Sports: It's a hub for hang gliding and paragliding, offering superb towing options and suitable terrain for these activities. Ultralight flights are also a key offering.
  • Pilot-Friendly Amenities: Guest pilots are warmly welcomed. On-site facilities include a "Fliegerkneipe" (pilot's pub/restaurant), clean sanitary facilities, and rooms for flight control and training.
  • Accommodation and Parking: Overnight stays are possible, with pitches for caravans and motorhomes (with electricity available), and outdoor aircraft parking (hangar space subject to availability).
  • Fuel Availability: Both Superplus and 100LL fuel are available on-site.
Common Complaints
  • Limited Aircraft Maintenance: The airfield does not have a dedicated aircraft maintenance operation, though minor assistance might be provided.
  • Prior Permission Required (PPR): Operations require prior permission, which means spontaneous visits might need pre-arrangement.
  • Website Under Construction: The official website for Luftsportzentrum Crawinkel ThĂĽringen is currently under restructuring, potentially limiting access to complete information.

Crawinkel Airfield is an ideal destination for general aviation pilots and air sports enthusiasts, particularly those interested in ultralight flying, hang gliding, and paragliding, who seek a well-equipped and welcoming environment amidst beautiful scenery. While it offers good basic amenities and services for its specific user base, it should not be viewed as a commercial airport, and travelers should be aware of the PPR requirement.
