Hot air balloon flights are a real experience for all adventurers. You can't get any closer to the real feeling of flying than this – you can see all the treetops and house roofs with the naked eye as the wind directly touch your skin!
Fortunately, such an adventure is available to all interested parties. Balloon club Zagreb is an active Zagreb balloon club in Croatia whose membership fee allows you to experience this unforgettable experience. Read below for how it started and what the club offers its clients!
The Beginning of Hot Air Ballooning in Croatia and the World
Although we would probably think that the first balloon flight happened more recently, this is not the case. The first human-crewed balloon flights took place during the 18th century. Some sources mention that flying balloons were used in China as early as the 3rd century for military purposes. Of course, with modernization and investment in knowledge, this sport has become widespread and simplified today. Balloon club Zagreb is the first registered club in Croatia that offers its members the possibility of flying in a hot air balloon. With membership, it is possible to become a pilot. Everything depends on your preferences and wishes - from recreational flying to professional practice of this sport - everything is possible!
