A conquest of High Tatra Mountains, this was rather dangerous challenge for Czech and Slovak balloonists. After three years of preapir works, they flew over, in the height of four kilometres, the highest mountain range of Slovak Republic. The way was long and freezing, taking two hours. After each overcome kilometre, the air-temperature dropped of 7 °C.

In a height of four kilometres, where mostly the plains are flying, the weather was comparable with Anctarctide relations.

So, Balony Company presented us such extraordinary experience.
