About the town of Thannhausen
Thannhausen – a town in the tranquil Baroque corner
The town of Thannhausen is located in the Swabian district of Günzburg between the cities of Memmingen, Ulm, and Augsburg. Thannhausen is also located on the edge of the large Augsburg-Western Woods Nature Park in the so-called Baroque Corner. This idyllic location is rounded off by the hilly landscape and abundance of greenery, a landscape that invites you to relax. Thannhausen is also known as the "Pearl of the Mindel Valley."
Those who opt for the spectacular balloon ride from Thannhausen will enjoy breathtaking views over the town, which has a population of almost 6,000, and the Mindel Valley. In addition, the balloon offers a completely different perspective on sights such as the historic town hall in the center of Thannhausen, the Catholic parish church of the Assumption of Mary, and the beer fountain on Dr.-Georg-und-Lu-Zimmermann-Platz. Finally, from the lofty heights, you can also catch a glimpse of your own home and the surrounding area – an opportunity that rarely presents itself. What makes it special: the basket in a hot air balloon allows for a breathtaking panoramic view of Thannhausen and the surrounding area. You don't get this expansive view in a helicopter or small plane, as the field of vision is restricted by the windows.
It is possible to start the balloon flight directly in or near Thannhausen. The incomparable experience begins right on your doorstep, so to speak. On the other hand, you can also choose Augsburg as your starting point. The only difference here is that you slowly move towards Thannhausen and can thus experience the nature park in all its splendor. A gift voucher for such a balloon flight is a great idea for friends or relatives.
