BSL → KRK
Which side of the plane to sit from EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport (Mulhouse) to Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Krakow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic view of the distant Swiss and Bavarian Alps, followed by the dramatic ridge of the Tatra Mountains during the descent into Southern Poland.
Swiss Alpine Skyline
A breathtaking distant view of the snow-capped Swiss Alps to the south shortly after takeoff from BSL.
Lake Constance (Bodensee)
The massive blue expanse where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, clearly visible in clear weather.
Bavarian Alps
Prominent peaks including the Zugspitze are often visible on the southern horizon during the mid-flight cruise.
Beskid Mountains
The rolling, forested ridges of the Beskids marking the border between Poland and Slovakia.
High Tatra Mountains
The jagged, dramatic peaks of the Tatras appear to the south during the final descent into Kraków.
This is the side for mountain lovers. On clear days, the Alpine chain remains visible for the first half of the flight. During the descent, keep your eyes south to spot the Tatras, which are particularly stunning when snow-capped in spring or autumn.
Black Forest
Dense, dark evergreen canopies of the Schwarzwald visible immediately after departure from the tri-border area.
The Danube River
The winding path of Europe's second-longest river as it flows through Southern Germany towards Regensburg.
Bohemian Massif
The rugged landscape and historic towns of the Czech Republic's western border regions.
Upper Silesian Industrial Region
The sprawling urban landscape of Katowice and surrounding cities as the flight nears its destination.
Ojców National Park
Distinctive limestone formations and deep valleys just north of the approach path to Kraków.
Early morning flights provide the best lighting for the Black Forest's shadows. Look for the distinct urban grid of Katowice roughly 20 minutes before landing. In winter, the frosted forests of the Bohemian hills are a highlight.
