Jutland Peninsula
Aerial views of the flat, green landscapes of southern Denmark transitioning into northern Germany.
Hamburg Skyline
Glimpses of Germany's second-largest city and its massive port infrastructure along the Elbe River.
Harz Mountains
The northernmost mountain range in Germany, featuring dense forests and the prominent Brocken peak.
Lake Constance
Known as the Bodensee, this massive lake marks the border between Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Swiss Alpine Chain
On clear days, the entire northern range of the Swiss Alps stretches across the horizon during the descent.
Sit on the left for the best morning light when flying south. About 20 minutes before landing, look forward to see the Alps emerging. If the flight path passes east of Hamburg, you will get a direct view of the Alster lakes. This side is particularly scenic in autumn when the German forests change color.

Rhine-Ruhr Region

Zurich City & Lake
During the final approach into ZRH, this side often provides a stunning view of downtown Zurich and the lake.
The right side is ideal for capturing the sunset on late afternoon flights. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the Rhine Falls, located just north of Zurich airport. If the plane lands from the north (Runway 14), you will see the outskirts of Zurich and the lake just before touchdown.
