Singen-Hilzingen Airfield Days

75 Years of Segelfliegergruppe Singen-Hilzingen

The Segelfliegergruppe Singen-Hilzingen e.V. is one of the oldest aviation sports clubs in the Hegau and is celebrating its 75th club anniversary as well as 30 years of Piccolo-Piloten (the youth department) in the 2026 season. A dedicated summer festival for the anniversary was already held on June 20, 2026; the Airfield Days in September are the second major event of the year and are aimed at a broad audience.

Fly-In, Vintage Aircraft, and Model Flying

A packed program of flight operations and demonstrations runs on both days. The focus is on the Fly-In: pilots from the entire Lake Constance region, Switzerland, and Southern Germany land their aircraft in Hilzingen and put them on display. The vintage aircraft are particularly worth seeing — historic machines rarely seen in regular flight operations. In parallel, model aircraft pilots showcase their skills with remote-controlled models — from small acrobatic planes to large, detailed replicas.

Scenic Flights and Balloon Experience

Anyone who wants to see the Hegau from the air can book glider or motor-powered scenic flights. In good weather, hot air balloons will also ascend with passengers. The Hegau is a landscape shaped by volcanic activity with characteristic conical mountains — the Hohentwiel, the Hohenhewen, the Hohenstoffeln — which are particularly impressive from the air. The children's program with a bouncy castle is located on the festival grounds, along with catering offering regional specialties.

Hilzingen — Volcanic Landscape Hegau

Hilzingen is a municipality with just under 9,000 inhabitants in the district of Konstanz, state of Baden-Württemberg, southwest of Singen at the transition from Lake Constance to the Black Forest and Switzerland.
