The ride began at a hill overlooking Lake Constance. All were eigespannt to set up the balloon. After everyone had climbed into the basket, we were already close to the ground. Continuously the balloon, which had 6100m3 of volume, gained altitude. After several crossings of farms, fields and rivers, the balloon carried us guided by the wind towards Toggenburg. With a view of the Alpstein and the Churfirsten we drove towards Lütisburg.
The courtly landing, just as soft as the start, took place at the Mühlaustrasse in Lütisburg. After the balloon was squeezed the air, we loaded it in the trailer. At the end of the ride we enjoyed an aperitif with Moscato, bread, meat and cheese.
My heartfelt thanks go to the pilot Lea and to her father Köbi, who acted as a co-driver. Thanks to you I enjoyed a Wonderful ride.
