Black Forest
Expansive views of Germany's most famous forest, characterized by rolling hills and dense evergreen coverage.
Freiburg im Breisgau
Look for the prominent Gothic spire of the Freiburg Minster emerging from the cityscape near the mountain edge.
Rhine River Bends
Frequent glimpses of the river's heavy industrial traffic and scenic bends near Mannheim and Ludwigshafen.
Frankfurt Skyline
Dramatic views of the 'Mainhattan' high-rise skyline, especially during landing patterns for runway 07.
Deutsche Bank Park
The massive football stadium on the outskirts of Frankfurt is clearly visible during the final descent into FRA.

Vosges Mountains
The rugged peaks of the French side, including the Grand Ballon, are visible shortly after takeoff from BSL.
Alsace Vineyards
Lush green slopes lined with world-famous vineyards stretch along the base of the mountains near Colmar.
Palatinate Forest
A vast UNESCO Biosphere Reserve providing a deep green canopy to the west as the plane heads north.
Trifels Castle Area
Historic castle silhouettes can sometimes be spotted perched on the sandstone cliffs of the Pfälzerwald.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides an excellent view of the French-German border and the distinct geological 'graben' structure of the Rhine Valley.
