Spring is coming, snow has almost completely gone and it’s getting warmer from day to day! We’re saying goodbye to a great winter with some really enjoyable flights – one of my favourites is surely the one from January 19th, when we launched from Oberstaufen and flew back home in an easterly direction. Great sunny [...]
We’re just too busy at the moment! So here are some pictures from one week ago… lovely winter flying with Bavaria Ballonfahrten and Kubicek Balloons Deutschland alongside the all new BB120P “Allgäuer Büble Bier” balloon. There are worse things than working on a Saturday… ;-) [...]
The fabulous winter weather this week was really tempting – and as our first balloon D-OSBK was slumbering in it’s bag with 598 and somewhat hours, we decided to take it out for a flight and push it over 600! What can I say – the pictures speak for themselves. The 17 year old envelope [...]

Nice morning flight [...]
The passion of a lifetime: To behold the stunning beauty of our world like no one else, free like a bird, high in the sky, yet one with nature, using the oldest principle of flight known to man: Lighter than air.
No wings, no noise, no pressure… just serenity, just perfect bliss. At one with the elements… at one with yourself.
This is why we live A LIFE OF BALLOONING.
