Civil Airfield Korbach (EDGK)

Korbach (EDGK) is a small, friendly airfield with a grass runway that is described as well maintained but notably undulating, with runway 21 sloping downhill and requiring attention for aircraft with good gliding performance. The circuit is straightforward to find due to clear ground features, though the runway can blend in with surrounding fields on approach. PPR is always required; phone contact is necessary and typically straightforward, with the number 05631/3344 provided for coordination. The airfield operator is generally available during the day after prior notice.

Facilities include coffee and occasional homemade cake or snacks served by staff at the airfield, though the on-site restaurant is closed. There is no mention of fuel availability except for occasional MoGas arranged in canisters by staff. Overnight hangar parking has been available, with Lande- und Abstellgebühren (landing and parking fees) for one night under €20. Example: landing fee about €10.

The walk to Korbach town center takes longer than 20 minutes at a relaxed pace; previously, a scooter was offered for a small donation to ease access into town. The atmosphere is quiet and welcoming, suitable for those seeking a relaxed stopover.

Runway 21’s slope and wavy surface require careful handling, especially for well-gliding aircraft. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
