About the city of Donauwörth
Donauwörth – a "pearl of the Danube" worth seeing for balloonists
The town of Donauwörth is located directly at the point where the Danube and Wörnitz rivers meet. Situated directly on the so-called Romantic Road, the town is also known as the Pearl of the Danube.
There are also many regions worth seeing in the Donauwörth area from a hot air balloon. These include the Ries plain, the Franconian Jura, the Swabian Alb, the Danube/Lech valley, and finally the Wörnitz/Danube valley. But the city itself also has an old town that is well worth seeing. Among the buildings that are definitely worth seeing from the air are the Heilig Kreuz monastery complex with its large garden, which is framed by the Wörnitz river. The island of Ried in front of the city wall is also very easy to see from above. Finally, in the center of the old town is the Liebfrauenmünster parish church.
If residents of Donauwörth decide to take a balloon ride, they can also look out for their own homes. A balloon ride from this city is possible for three to six people. The special thing about it is that you take off directly from your home town, saving yourself a long journey. However, some people find it exciting to start from a city like Augsburg and then enjoy the feeling of slowly moving towards Donauwörth.
Or are you still looking for an original gift for your friends or relatives in the city? Then a gift voucher for a balloon ride is just the thing! Donauwörth from a bird's eye view is unforgettable, and there is always the option of documenting the flight with a camera. The ride in the balloon basket is not only romantic, but also offers an unadulterated panoramic view of the city and the idyllic surroundings.
