Budapest Skyline
A stunning view of the Hungarian Parliament and the Danube bridges immediately after takeoff from BUD.
Lake Balaton
On a clear day, the turquoise waters of Central Europe's largest lake are visible to the southwest.
Northern Alps
Distant but majestic views of the snow-capped Austrian Alps as the flight progresses over the Austro-German border.
Franconian Jura
The dramatic limestone plateaus and deep valleys of Northern Bavaria provide a rugged landscape below.
Spessart Nature Park
Dense, ancient deciduous forests covering the highlands between Bavaria and Hesse.
For morning flights, the left side avoids direct sunlight, making it easier to spot the distant Alps. During evening flights, you may catch a spectacular sunset over the German horizon. Look for the winding Main River as you approach the final third of the journey.

Thuringian Forest
The 'Green Heart of Germany' offers a sea of dark conifers and rolling hills below the flight path.

The right side is ideal for spotting the industrial landmarks of the Ruhr area during the descent. Keep an eye out for the distinct 'U' tower in Dortmund. In winter, this side offers the best views of the snow-covered low mountain ranges of Central Germany.
