BSL → PRG
Which side of the plane to sit from EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport (Mulhouse) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular panoramic view of the distant Alps to the south and a better perspective of the Bohemian countryside during the approach into Prague.
The Alpine Horizon
A stunning, continuous view of the Swiss and Bavarian Alps stretching across the southern horizon for the first half of the flight.
Lake Constance
Depending on the specific flight path, the massive Bodensee where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet may be visible.
Bavarian Heartland
The characteristic patchwork of Bavarian farmland and small red-roofed villages south of the Danube.
Šumava National Park
Also known as the Bohemian Forest, this vast green lung marks the entry into Czech airspace.
Karlštejn Castle
As the plane descends toward PRG, look for this iconic 14th-century Gothic castle nestled in the hills southwest of Prague.
This side is superior for mountain lovers; on a clear day, the Alps are unmistakable. During the approach into Prague (usually Runway 24), the right side often gets a sweeping view of the Vltava river valley. Evening flights are particularly beautiful as the sun sets behind you, illuminating the mountains in gold.
Black Forest
Immediately after takeoff, witness the dense, dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald in Southern Germany.
Swabian Jura
View the dramatic limestone plateaus and occasional hilltop castles typical of the Baden-Württemberg region.
Nuremberg Metro
On a northerly track, the historic city of Nuremberg and its surrounding industrial landscape are visible mid-flight.
Upper Palatinate Forest
The low mountain range forming the natural border between Germany and the Czech Republic.
Early morning flights will experience direct sunlight on this side, which can cause glare; however, it is the best side to view the Rhine River valley during the initial climb. Use a polarizing filter for photos to cut through the atmospheric haze over the German industrial heartland.
