Why struggle to climb the peaks when you can simply glide over them? In the Harz, you can experience a true sense of freedom: while paragliding, you float gently over forests, valleys and mountains; during a balloon ride, you enjoy the panoramic view and let the wind carry you along. If you want to go even higher, a sightseeing flight will show you the entire Harz from a bird’s-eye perspective – an experience that combines adventure and tranquillity.
Balloon rides, paragliding & sightseeing flights in the Harz
Balloon rides in the Harz
A balloon ride in the Harz already starts on the ground with a little adventure. You can help prepare the hot air balloon and become part of the team. Once the balloon is ready for take-off, you'll lift off silently and look down on forests, valleys, and villages whose roofs appear tiny from above. A ride that combines peace and romance with adventure.

Paragliding flights
A gentle slope, a few steps of running – and you’re already carried by the wind. Paragliding in the Harz gives you the feeling of freely gliding through the air.

Sightseeing flights
With the Brockenflieger in the Harz mountains, you can experience sightseeing flights in modern ultralight aircraft such as autogyros or gyrocopters. They allow for precise and agile flying and offer panoramic views over the Harz. If you want to soar even higher, take off on a helicopter flight in a Robinson R44 with Harz‑Helicopter. The flight climbs vertically – giving you a bird’s‑eye view of the entire region.
