Balloon ride over Kortrijk

Kortrijk lies barely a quarter of an hour from our permanent base in Wervik, upstream along the Lys. From the basket you'll see the Broel Towers and the historic city centre take shape along the river, while around the city the rolling landscape of south-west West Flanders stretches out to the horizon.

The countryside around Kortrijk is threaded with small waterways and fields, with the odd church tower giving away a village centre here and there. A striking contrast with the compact, lively city centre itself — and it's exactly that contrast that makes a flight here so worthwhile.

At least 60 minutes

Every flight lasts at least an hour, at varying heights, carried along by the wind.

Planned around the weather

We choose the moment shortly after sunrise or just before sunset, the calmest times to fly.
