Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏗️

Port of Esbjerg

View the massive staging area for offshore wind turbines, highlighting Esbjerg's role as a green energy hub.

🗿

Men at Sea Sculptures

The four 9-meter tall white giants (Mennesket ved Havet) are often visible on the coastal approach.

🏖️

Fanø Island

See the northern tip of Fanø island and its expansive sandy beaches across the Grådyb channel.

🏙️

Esbjerg City Grid

Observe the organized, modern urban layout of Denmark's west coast capital during descent.

🌲

Klelund Plantation

A large forested area north of the flight path providing a dark green contrast to the surrounding farmland.

Choose the right side for the best approach views. The 'Men at Sea' statues are a must-see landmark on the coast. In the morning, the light is excellent for photographing the industrial port and the coastline without sea glare.

🎢

Legoland Billund Resort

Catch a glimpse of the colorful theme park and the Lego House shortly after departure from Billund.

🏘️

Historic Ribe

To the south, look for the spire of Ribe Cathedral, marking Denmark's oldest town amidst the marshlands.

🌾

Jutland Mosaic

A classic view of the Danish countryside, featuring a patchwork of agricultural fields and small farmsteads.

🌊

Wadden Sea National Park

The shimmering tidal flats of this UNESCO World Heritage site are visible as the plane nears the coast.

Focus your attention southward during the mid-flight phase to spot the distinctive skyline of Ribe. This side is better during the late afternoon when the sun is behind you, illuminating the green fields and the cathedral's brickwork.
