The sky was full of balloons at the 8th Balloon Festival at the Europa-Park Rust! Fine summer-like weather and low winds made the balloon meeting a magnificent event for the 30 teams - and probably the most wonderful balloon meeting the Europa-Park ever saw.
Everyone who was lucky enough to be in the basket of a balloon could enjoy this wonderful outlook. On the left, the main entrance of the park, on the right the silver sphere of the EUROSAT rollercoaster.
As you might imagine, the many attractions of the park were a special attraction
to us ;-)
Here, we had a lot of fun on the Tirolian Torrent Slide. From the front:
Andreas Schmiauke, Werner Schlegel and Bernd Schwab.
The two fox balloons from Schwäbisch Hall were also there - organizer Rudi Höfer had the older one of the two balloons (left) had repaired to be able to present both of the foxes at this event.

The night glow, which was held on Friday and Saturday evening, was again watched by thousands of spectators. The roads to the Europa-Park were crammed with cars, so many people wanted to see this spectale.
