balloon ride over the Eifel
Bitburg
The ride in a hot air balloon is without a doubt a mesmerizing adventure. Feel your spirits soar as you majestically ascend into the air. You can experience endless liberty at dizzying heights as you drift through the various Eifel landscapes. Direction and velocity are guided only by the wind. Images and impressions from a bird’s eye of view will remain etched on your mind as you silently glide over the Eifel. It is nothing short of seventh heaven for photography buffs. For all new balloonists, the traditional ‘christening’ is indeed an unforgettable experience. Every participant receives a certificate reminding them of their ‘premiere’. Launching time, good weather permitting, is in the early morning hours or late afternoon when the wind is at its calmest, given that the sun is low in the sky. Flight time is about an hour to an hour and a half. Prices and times available on request.
