Search flights from AMS to LEJ
The Veluwe
Fly over the largest continuous forest area in the Netherlands, a stark green contrast to the surrounding urban areas.
Harz Mountains
Spot the Brocken, the highest peak in Northern Germany, which often stands out above the clouds or mist.
Leipzig City Center
Usually visible during the final approach, including the Red Bull Arena and the massive Monument to the Battle of the Nations.
Evening flights on the right side offer a stunning 'golden hour' glow over the German hills. As you approach Leipzig, look for the large open-cast mining lakes (Leipziger Neuseenland) south of the city, which have been transformed into a recreational lake district.

Markermeer & IJsselmeer
Expansive views of the Dutch 'inland seas' and the famous Houtribdijk dam connecting Enkhuizen and Lelystad.
Flevoland Polders
Witness the incredible geometric precision of the world's largest artificial island and its reclaimed agricultural land.
Halle (Saale)
Clear views of the historic city of Halle and its industrial heritage just before the final descent into LEJ.
Morning flights provide excellent lighting for this side as the sun is in the southeast. Look for the distinct wind farms in the North Sea and the winding Weser river as you cross into Germany.
