For the grand opening of the 70th season of the ‘Blooming Baroque’, the lush gardens around Ludwigsburg Palace, a team of model balloonists from all over southern Germany had organised something special: Over 80 model balloons should inflate all around the gardens and add colourful spots to the lavishly planted flower fields. What worked extremely [...]

Back to the skies! Awesome flight from Oberstdorf to Seeg last Sunday =) Thank you Jenny for chasing and Louise & Thomas for the additional pictures! ;-) [...]

Our first ballooning adventure in 2024 – The “Hanneshof Ballonwoche” at Filzmoos am Dachstein in Austria! And we couldn’t have wished for more: A wonderful balloon gracefully lent to us by DAMM Kälte- & Klimatechnik, seven flights in nine days, skiing, tobogganing… a perfect winter fairytale! :-) [...]

With a strong west wind blowing even in the lower layers, yesterday we decided to visit our ballooning friend Martin near Rosenheim – by balloon! From a distance of 116 kilometers, we landed just 50 meters from his house after a sensational flight of 3 hours and 15 minutes. Awesome =) Huge thanks to the [...]

After the rather nasty weather during the past days, this Sunday was just too perfect to not go ballooning! Lovely winter flight above the beautiful Allgäu today =) [...]

On November 18th, we managed the first alpine crossing of the season, from Füssen to Instrana in just 3 hours and 15 minutes! Perfect weather, lovely passengers, awesome views :-) [...]

We just [...]

After our return from the Coupe Aéronautique Gordon Bennett, we enjoyed the last days of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta… and we just arrived on time for the Special Shape Rodeo! On our last day, we were lucky enough to hitch a ride with Cameron Wall in his beautiful balloon “Grandma’s Legacy”! Due to the [...]

Our adventure of the year, if not our lifetime: The 66th Gordon Bennett Race in Albuquerque, USA. We were a bit uncertain about our 2024 participation while the event was to be hosted in Switzerland, because we had had such a beautiful flight from there the year before, but when we learnt that the race [...]
