About the city of Ingolstadt
The Bavarian city of Ingolstadt on the Danube is characterized by its diversity. One of the city's landmarks is the Kreuztor, one of the four main gates of the city. But the area surrounding Ingolstadt is also very interesting. Here, for example, you can see the Danube river valley, which winds its way through the city.
These sights and the surrounding area are best explored by hot air balloon. The balloon basket offers a fascinating panoramic view, which is particularly exciting for residents of the city. From the balloon, for example, you have a good view of the very well-preserved old town. The historic "Scherbelberg" rubble hill and the former "Pfeifturm" watchtower stand out in particular. But the representative monuments such as the New Castle or the Herzogskarten must also be viewed from above.
A balloon ride from Ingolstadt is possible for groups of 3 to 6 people. It is above all the romance, the unobstructed view, and the fresh air that are appreciated on a balloon ride. The advantage of a launch site in Ingolstadt or near the city is that there is no long journey to the launch site and the ride starts right on your doorstep. An alternative option is to start in Augsburg. The hovering flight to Ingolstadt also has a special charm.
Want to surprise friends or relatives with a flight over the city? Then simply give them a gift certificate. All your relatives or friends need is comfortable clothing and a camera to capture the experience on film.
