the ground as possible without touching it.

golf course holes 9, 11, 12, 6, 5, 4,16,17 and 7. The race can be easily

The most exciting competition will be the slalom with Le Mans-start: here all airships will need to take off at the same time. The gates of this slalom course allow only one airship to pass through at a time, which should present some thrilling moments. The main area for this race will be holes 5 and 6 of the golf course which borders the street, allowing great viewing. Directions: follow the state street B 50 (either coming from Eisenstadt or from Oberwart), then take the turn to the Steigenberger Hotels and golf course. After the railway crossing, you drive over the bridge of the Tschabach river coming to the parking lot for visitors on the left. |
