The north eastern leg holds more large hangars, predominantly for maintenance. The northwestern leg consists of a grass runway / manoeuvring area. Lastly, the northwest corner holds an aero club with some German warbirds.
Getting There
Laupheim can be reached by taking the 30 highway from Ulm to Biberach and taking the southern exit to Laupheim and Baustetten, you have to get on the L265 road to Baustetten. This is the Hauptstrasse and from that you have to make a left onto the Bühlerstaige/Bühlerweg. This road continues to the airfield.
Alternatively, go north after leaving the 30, also taking the L265 road which is called Biberacher strasse. Take the first to the right, you should be on road K7582 Weihertalstrasse. Also, the Laupheimerstrasse is going north from Baustetten itself and leads to the K7582 road as well. All this will bring you close to spot 1 (refer).
