Balloon Ride over Zonnebeke
Zonnebeke is known for its history, but seen from the balloon it is above all a landscape of small village centres, scattered church towers and a patchwork of fields stretching in every direction to the horizon. We fly over this region — where Beselare, Zonnebeke, Moorslede and Ledegem blend into one another — with the necessary respect: Tyne Cot Cemetery lies within the usual flight area and is a reminder of how deeply these quiet fields were once marked by history.
The area is flat enough for a calm flight, with just enough relief and variety to stay interesting from take-off to landing, and on clear days you can see both Ypres and the Kemmelberg as well as Roeselare on the horizon. A reliable choice in our planning whenever the wind sits favourably from this direction.
At least 60 minutes
Every flight lasts at least an hour, at varying altitudes and drifting with the wind.
Planned around the weather
We choose the moment shortly after sunrise or just before sunset, the calmest times to fly.
Take-off near Zonnebeke
Fixed launch site with good accessibility.
