Floating the Lower Rhine with Tagged Balloons: A Guide to Camp Lintfort
Get ready for an extraordinary experience as the Kamp-Lintfort Balloon Days return for their ninth edition, taking place from the 11th to the 14th of September. This year's event promises to be just as thrilling as ever, with hot air balloons taking off from the picturesque Zechenpark.
Unlike gas balloons, the hot air balloons will start their journey from the Zechenpark, not from the airport in Saalhoff. The launch site, situated in one of the northernmost starting points of Skytours in the Rhineland, offers a unique and breathtaking backdrop for the balloon ascensions.
A Journey in the Skies Awaits
The balloon rides offer an unforgettable experience, with each gondola accommodating between 8 to 19 passengers. Tickets for this once-in-a-lifetime adventure are priced at 229 euros per person. The ticket price includes a detailed briefing by the pilot, the traditional balloon christening after landing, and the return transfer to the starting point.
For those who prefer a morning flight, there might be a tour available on Sunday. Evening flights are planned from Thursday to Sunday at 5:30 PM. However, the final decision on whether an evening launch is possible is made on the planned launch day around 1 PM.
An Exciting Experience for All
Spectators and guests can expect an exciting start phase and the opportunity to see the giants of the sky up close and experience the launches of hot air balloons. Skytours recommends planning four to five hours for the experience, with one hour spent in the air.
The safety of the passengers and the success of the event are ensured by Skytours Ballooning GmbH, who maintain contact with guests during weather-related delays. It's also worth noting that the pilots for the balloon rides are all experienced, having spent many hours in the air and passed another test.
