    Balloon crash in 1990, 4 people died

    Hiking

    On a beautiful autumn day, the 06.10.1990, drove a hot air balloon with 7 people over the Traunwald. The balloon suddenly lost altitude, grazed a few treetops and stalled after colliding with an oak tree. The basket ropes tore and the basket fell for about 8 meters on a paved road. The separated balloon envelope with the burner rose again and caught about 3.2 km further in a vineyard. In this accident 4 people were killed.
