Larissa Hainz-Taute (back row, right) from the Jugendrotkreuz (JRK) presented vouchers from the Rompel shop in Oberursel to 5-year-old Friederike (left) and 2-year-old Finn (right).  Finn’s balloon was found in the orchard in Rodheim awarding him third place.  Second place went to the 10-year-old Laura, whose balloon flew to Heusenstamm.  But Friederike was the clear winner after her balloon travelled 132km and landed in Elztal-Muckental in Neckar-Odenwaldkreis.
