BEGLJU

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides provide views of the Sava River, the Right Side is superior for its northern views of the Medvednica mountain and the dramatic approach toward the Slovenian Alps.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌾

Pannonian Plains

The vast, flat agricultural heartland of the Vojvodina and Slavonia regions stretching toward the horizon.

⛰️

Medvednica Mountain

The prominent forested ridge located just north of Zagreb, often visible with its distinctive TV tower.

🏔️

Kamnik-Savinja Alps

Jagged limestone peaks that dominate the skyline during the descent into Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport.

🏘️

Upper Carniola Region

A patchwork of small Slovenian villages and church steeples set against a backdrop of high mountains.

The right side is essential for Alpine scenery. In the winter, the snow-capped Kamnik-Savinja Alps are spectacular. Morning flights offer the best light for the northern mountain ranges, as the sun illuminates the peaks from the southeast.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🏙️

Belgrade Confluence

A striking view of the Sava and Danube rivers meeting near the city center immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Sava River Meanders

The aircraft often parallels this major waterway, showcasing its tight bends and fertile floodplains.

🏢

Zagreb City Center

As you pass northern Croatia, look south to see the dense urban grid and historic spires of Zagreb.

🌲

Žumberak Nature Park

Dense forested hills along the Croatian-Slovenian border that offer vibrant colors in autumn.

Sit on the left if you want to see the city of Zagreb. For late afternoon flights, this side is shaded from the harsh sun, making it easier to take clear photos of the Balkan landscape without glare.
