Tracking Hot Air Ballooning Adventures with Ruhavik

29.9.2023 | Anastasiya Kulish

Have you ever wondered what kind of unexpected journeys you could take with the tracking capabilities of Ruhavik

Well, here's a delightful surprise: Hot Air Ballooning 🎈
It's more than just a mode of transportation; it's an experience that offers a unique perspective of the world below.

That's right – you can track the fascinating flight of a hot air balloon right from your device (thanks to Ruhavik).
Real-Time location


To track your hot air balloon flight (or any other movement), you'll need a GPS tracker connected to our application.

Don't forget about the presence of a SIM card (or for example M2M SIM card) in the tracker, as it enables data transmission and connection to our platform.

But even if you don't have GPS tracker, worry not – your smartphone can easily take its place. Simply install apps like WiaTag or Traccar Client, and voilà! You're ready for tracking!


With Ruhavik, we set out on an amazing adventure over Trakai, and the results were nothing short of spectacular:

  • 🎈 The journey lasted just over an hour.
  • 🎈 We covered almost 8 kilometers in total, a journey worth cherishing.
  • 🎈 Our highest point reached 337 meters, providing us with a panoramic view that words can hardly capture.
  • 🎈  Our flight maintained an average speed of 7 km per hour, with a peak speed of 17 kilometers per hour.

Real-Time location History

With the wind guiding us and the Ruhavik app by our side,  we were able to capture every twist and turn of our flight.
