Black Forest
Breathtaking views of the Feldberg and the dark evergreen canopy of Germany's most famous mountain range right after takeoff.
Stuttgart Basin
A clear view of the industrial heartland of Swabia, including the Mercedes-Benz and Porsche headquarters.
Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge)
The rugged terrain along the Czech border provides a dramatic backdrop during the descent into Saxony.
Dresden Elbe Valley
Stunning views of the 'Florence on the Elbe' including the Frauenkirche and Zwinger if landing from the southwest.
The right side is ideal for morning flights when the sun illuminates the mountains. During the final 15 minutes, watch for the Elbe river winding through the sandstone cliffs of Saxon Switzerland just south of the flight path.

Rhine Valley
Aerial perspective of the Rhine river serving as the natural border between France and Germany shortly after departure.
Heidelberg & Neckar
Spot the historic castle and the winding Neckar river as the flight passes over the northern Baden-Württemberg region.
Thuringian Forest
The 'Green Heart of Germany' presents a vast expanse of dense forest ridges and hiking trails visible from cruising altitude.
Leipzig Skyline
On a clear day, the Völkerschlachtdenkmal and the high-rises of Leipzig are visible to the north during the descent phase.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is particularly good for spotting the industrial hubs of the Rhine-Main area in the distance.
