The airfield Menden barge is a Segelfluggelände in Menden (Sauerland) , Georgia.
The airfield is popular with glider pilots, as there is no need to travel long distances in areas with high temperatures. The airfield is on a slope. The difference in height between the two used ends of the airfield is around 60 meters. The two ends are connected to the asphalt Lepo track, so that the ropes can be pulled out even on wet ground.
The infrastructure of the glider airfield includes a training room, sanitary facilities, workshop and the aircraft hangar. The flying season starts in March and ends in November. Flight operations take place on Saturday, Sunday and on public holidays. There are predominantly winch starts.
