Euroglide 2002 started at Eindhoven Airport (Netherlands).
So as to avoid large parts of Belgium, the first turningpoint was the airport
Dahlemer Binz
(Germany) in the Eiffel.
Through the Belgian Ardennes and the planes of North-East France the route
took the participating teams to the airport of
Romorantin (France).
Back to the North-East, the next turning-point was Lachen-Speyerdorf
(Germany), a friendly glider field, near the French-German border. This turningpoint has
been inserted in order to avoid the direct crossing of the Black Forest in
Germany and the Basel-Strassbourg control-area.

Then the itinerary turned South, to the well known glider-field
Klippeneck
(Germany), and leaving the Black Forest West of track. The next leg to the airfield
Cham Janahof (Germany)
followed the "rennstrecke" along the Swabische Alp, just North of the Donau.
Thereafter the route brought the competitors along the Thuringer Wald to the
airfield Oerlinghausen.
Finally, the leg to the gliderfield
Venlo
(50 km east of Eindhoven) virtually closed the itinerary.
The total distance was 2211 km.
