[DE] "Am immer leicht zugigen Marktplatz etwa oberhalb der Leopoldstraße steht ein kleiner Brunnen, der eine besonders hübsche Episode aus der Stadtgeschichte erzählt. Dauns Touristiker haben sie aufgeschrieben: 1983, anlässlich des 100-jährigen Bestehens der Dauner Freiwilligen Feuerwehr, fand ein Luftballonwettbewerb statt. In Carisolo/Trentino, nördlich des Gardasees, landete der am weitesten geflogene Ballon; ein Mädchen dieser Stadt sandte die Grußkarte zurück. In der Folge entwickelte sich ein Kontakt von Feuerwehr zu Feuerwehr, gegenseitige Besuche und Geschenke vertieften die Freundschaft. 1988 überraschte man die Dauner mit einem wertvollen Brunnen aus Granitgestein, gebrochen in einem Steinbruch von Carisolo. Was so mit einem Luftballon begann, der über Grenzen flog, begründete die grenzüberschreitende Städtepartnerschaft Daun-Carisolo."

[EN] "At the always slightly draughty market square just above Leopoldstrasse stands a small fountain that tells a particularly pretty episode from the city's history. Daun's tourism experts wrote it down: in 1983, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Daun Volunteer Fire Brigade, a balloon competition took place. In Carisolo/Trentino, north of Lake Garda, the most widely flown balloon landed; a girl from this city sent back the greeting card. Subsequently, a contact between the fire brigade and the fire brigade developed, mutual visits and gifts deepened the friendship. In 1988, the people of Daun were surprised by a valuable well made of granite stone, quarried in a quarry in Carisolo. What began with a balloon flying across borders was the basis for the cross-border town twinning Daun-Carisolo."
