Krkonoše Mountains
The 'Giant Mountains' on the Czech-Polish border, featuring Sněžka, the highest peak in the region.
Spreewald Biosphere
A unique cultural landscape south of Berlin characterized by hundreds of small water canals and dense alder forests.
Tropical Islands Dome
The massive former airship hangar (Aerium), now a water park, visible as a giant silver dome near Brand-Gubas.
Western Carpathians
Early in the flight, the rugged terrain of the Slovakian border provides a beautiful contrast to the Hungarian plains.
Müggelsee Lake
The largest of the Berlin lakes, signaling the final moments before touchdown at the airport.
The right side is essential for spotting the Tropical Islands dome, which is a major landmark roughly 60km south of Berlin. In winter, the snow-covered peaks of the Giant Mountains are particularly striking. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes before landing.

Visegrád & Danube Bend
Shortly after takeoff, view the dramatic u-turn of the Danube river surrounded by the Börzsöny and Pilis mountains.
Brno Urban Center
A clear view of the second-largest city in the Czech Republic, including the Špilberk Castle on the hill.
Dresden and the Elbe
As the plane begins its descent, catch the historic 'Florence of the Elbe' with its distinct baroque architecture.
Bohemian-Moravian Highlands
Rolling green hills and mosaic farmlands stretching across the central Czech Republic.
Potsdam Palaces
On a western approach, the left side provides views of the Sanssouci park system and the lakes surrounding Potsdam.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare, making it easier to photograph the Danube Bend. During the descent, look for the sharp silver reflects of the Elbe river winding through Dresden.
