Has become a regular fuel stop for me about halfway between Rhein/Main and the far north. 100LL is currently €2.29/l, so only slightly more expensive than Rendsburg and Borkenberge. Current prices can always be viewed at https://flugplatz-hx.de/index.php/flugplatz/tankstelle. Also very low landing fees (and a landing voucher booklet); therefore possibly overall even the cheapest fuel stop in Germany. Always friendly airfield managers; on weekdays sometimes even without an airfield manager. On approach you can quickly check precise wind info on your smartphone via https://flugplatz-hx.de/index.php/flugplatz/flugplatzwetter (an airfield manager is no longer allowed to state the exact wind). Especially when landing on runway 31 you’ll need to brake appreciably, because it slopes downhill in the second half. Negatives are the trees southeast of the runway and also the fact that an airfield like this has no proper restaurant; that’s pretty weak.

EDVI is situated on a hill with scenic surroundings and offers a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The airfield operates with an automated landing information system when no flight information service officer is present; pilots communicate via position reports. The system provides runway direction and wind information, but changes in wind can lead to frequent updates, especially in crosswind conditions. Approaches to runway 31/32 can be turbulent due to surrounding forests and the elevated location, requiring attention to wind and possible mechanical turbulence near the threshold. All fuel types are available, including Avgas, SuperPlus, and MoGas; fueling is considered convenient and competitively priced. Example: landing fee about €10. Payment for landing fees and fuel can be made via AEROPS app or in cash at the on-field Café Räuschenberg, where pilots also sign a landing log if no staff are present.

The paved runway is in good condition; taxiways are primarily grass with a hard-surface connection from the runway to the ramp. Caution is advised at transitions between grass taxiways and paved areas due to loose gravel. Parking is available on grass; hangar space may be offered when available. The café features homemade cakes and a terrace with panoramic views; savory food options are limited. The airfield staff are consistently described as helpful and flexible, assisting with technical issues or transport when possible.

There is no direct public transport to Höxter or Holzminden; walking routes through the woods are possible but hilly, with distances of 7–16 km depending on the path chosen. Taxis may be expensive, and bicycles are not provided on site. The airfield’s website (www.flugplatz-hx.de) offers weather information and operational details.

Fallschirm (parachute) operations occur occasionally, sometimes every second weekend. Procedures may vary; see AIP/NOTAM for operational specifics. EDVI is suitable for non-commercial general aviation flights under VFR; IFR procedures are not mentioned in the available reports.
