Dutch Polder Landscape
Unique geometric field patterns and intricate canal systems visible immediately after takeoff from Schiphol.
Bremen and Hanover
Distant views of major North German cities as the flight path levels out over the Lower Saxony plains.
Elbe River Basin
The winding Elbe river and its fertile floodplains visible as the aircraft crosses into Eastern Germany.
Prague Northern Suburbs
