From the ‘Kaiserwinkl’, we continued directly to Lake Tegernsee – the meeting there was celebrating its 20th anniversary, and as we had experienced most of its editions from the very beginnings to the really ‘big’ party events in 2004 and onwards, it was time to pay a visit again! ;-) And what can I say [...]

Last week, we returned to the Kaiserwinkl again with many many friends – and although the weather didn’t allow a lot of flights, we had loads of fun hopping around in one of our favourite alpine regions :-) [...]

Directly from our stay at Filzmoos, we continued our winter mountain tour to Gosau, which is one of our most beloved places for model ballooning. Having flown our very first model balloon there back in 1995, we continued to visit the Austrian mountain village for many many years, until other meetings got more important. After [...]

In mid January, we spent two days at Filzmoos with the team from Siebel Ballooning to fly the Wera Tool Rebels screwsriver special shape. What a stunning area to fly! [...]

As we live quite nearby, we joined the balloon teams this Wednesday and had a fantastic flight from the Tannheimer Tal to our beautiful Allgäu with the Gitzenweiler Hof balloon :-) Thank you Rudi Höfer, Bianca Höfer [...]

The second flight of the new gas balloon of the Ballonsportgruppe Stuttgart e.V. led us towards Lake Constance – with a nice intermediate landing near Hechingen, the place of the famous Castle Hohenzollern. The decision for this flight was quite an interesting one – because several weather models showed quite a thick cloud layer, which [...]

Meanwhile, it is a nice tradition: The Allgäulino Montgolfiade at Wertach at the first weekend of the year. Saturday was unflyable, but Sunday and Monday (a holiday in our region of Germany) totally made up for that. Thank you Bavaria Ballonfahrten for that wonderful event! [...]

The weather on January 1st, 2020 was so lovely that we simply couldn’t resist beginning the new decade with yet another beautiful flight! :-) [...]

On the 30th of December, conditions were finally perfect for the first flight of the new Stuttgarter Hofbräu gas balloon of the Ballonsportgruppe Stuttgart e.V.. Beautifully designed by members of the club, respecting the brand manual of the sponsor, the new balloon is also an homage to one of its predecessors, featuring the same red [...]
