Our next gas balloon flight with the Ballonsportgruppe Stuttgart e.V. turned out to cover almost the same distance as the last one! Again taking off from the launch site at the “Cannstatter Wasen”, winds gently pushed us eastwards, flying over Schorndorf, Aalen and Öttingen. The first landing took place near Spielberg, the final one just [...]

Of course, it didn’t take long until we took to the skies again back home! Wonderful fun flight with an awesome scenery and fantastic light. Thanks Thomas Köck from einfachabheben.de / Kubicek Balloons Deutschland for the additional photos! [...]
