Unfortunately, as almost any other events this year, the Gas Balloon Cup at Gersthofen (originally scheduled for this weekend) has been cancelled. Nevertheless, we decided to take off from there last Thursday, with the plan to fly home to Seeg with our Gitzenweiler Hof Bodensee Balloon – and that worked very well, with a landing [...]

Two long months of being grounded are finally over! The Bavarian authorities have allowed airsports again, and now that the weather’s cooperating as well, we find ourselves back in the air. It was a long wait, but looking at the pictures, you can surely say it was worth it! [...]

Life is a [...]

Nevertheless, there’s enough to do, while we keep enjoying the nice weather from the ground :-) [...]

… and we’re finally back in the air! =) Lovely weather, wonderful views. We’re so glad to live here! <3 [...]
