Touring Russia’s Golden Ring by Hot Air Balloon
Unpredictable, exciting and freeing. Flying in a hot air ballon is like dancing in the billowing clouds. Participants of the 23rd aeronautics festival observed the gentle movements of the colourful balloons in Pereslavl-Zalessky. The city, which is part of the Golden Ring of Russia tourist route, welcomed visitors from all over the country, including Nizhny Novgorod, Kaluga, Tula, Essentuki and Yoshkar-Ola.
Our film crew learned what steps are involved in preparing a hot air balloon for flight, what altitude it can reach and how the pilot steers it.
