In summer, when thermals are favorable, there is a lot of flying activity here. Once a year, you can watch the glider pilots for a week during their aerobatic championships.

The Ziegenhain gliding airfield is one of the largest airfields in Hesse in terms of area and is approved for gliders, motor gliders, ultralight aircraft and a few motor aircraft. Four different take-off directions can be used depending on the wind conditions. Each take-off direction has two 900m long take-off tracks for winch or aircraft tow starts and two runways, whereby the runway facing away from the take-off tracks is also used as a motor flight track.
