Czechia is made for ballooning. Its diverse landscape, historic castles and chateaux, and fishponds contrasting with forests create a backdrop that changes quite literally with every kilometre. So where should you take off?
Among the most popular spots is undoubtedly the Bohemian Paradise, where you will float above sandstone rock towns, Kost Castle or Trosky – the castle ruins play a key role in the game Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and have become part of the Kingdom Come Live project.
Wine lovers will be delighted by flights over vineyards and the cultural landscape of the Lednice–Valtice area (UNESCO). Aerial views of the Pálava Hills, the Nové Mlýny reservoirs or the chateau in Lednice are sure to enchant any romantic.
Breathtaking views also await over the romantic town of Telč (a UNESCO site) or the iconic Zelená hora (UNESCO) near Žďár nad Sázavou. While flying over Kutná Hora (also UNESCO-listed), you can admire the stunning Cathedral of St Barbara, the Jesuit College and the entire historic centre of this exceptional town, which also features in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
History Above the Most Famous Czech River
The historic atmosphere of Český Krumlov (UNESCO), combined with the Šumava hills and the meanders of the Vltava River, gives balloon flights a fairy-tale dimension. Some of the most stunning photographs are taken here.
Over the mountain meadows and peaks of the Krkonoše Mountains, you’ll experience a different kind of adventure. Meanwhile, the picturesque valley of the Berounka River, deep forests and the majestic Křivoklát Castle promise great fun not far from Prague.
