The first week of the Ballonfestival Tannheimer Tal is over – many many beautiful flights have been made! 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 couldn’t have been better… a wonderful four hour flight with fantastic views. Truly uplifting! ;-) [...]
Autumn and winter is typically the time when we do some nice long distance flying along the Alps. Unfortunately, we didn’t yet have the perfect weather pattern for a really long distance… but duration flights can be fun too! So, this Thursday, weather was just too fine to stay at home… Seeg to Bad Tölz [...]

Sleeping flap & size 4 mandatory, sports edition (lightweight) optional. Maybe you know somebody who knows somebody who…? ;-) Thank you Bob B. for allowing us to use your photos :-) [...]
Last weekend, during our annual visit to Kubicek Balloons, we had the pleasure to attend “Poslední Kříž” – the so-called ‘last cross’ in the Czech balloon competition year. Although the sun hid behind a thick layer of clouds, it was a funny flight – not to forget the party afterwards at Balónový Hotel Radesin! [...]
