Great Belt Bridge
A magnificent view of the Storebælt link, the bridge connecting the islands of Zealand and Fyn.
Wadden Sea UNESCO Site
The unique intertidal zone with complex sandbank patterns and tidal channels along the German and Dutch coast.
Frisian Islands
A beautiful chain of islands including Texel, Vlieland, and Ameland stretching along the North Sea.
Offshore Wind Farms
Massive arrays of turbines generating green energy in the clear waters of the North Sea.
Dutch Polders
The highly organized reclaimed land and canal systems of the northern Netherlands.
Choose the right side for the most diverse natural scenery. For afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so window shades may be needed unless you want to capture sunset glints on the North Sea. Keep a close watch roughly 15 to 20 minutes after takeoff for the crossing of the Great Belt.

Copenhagen Skyline
A potential view of the Danish capital's historic spires and modern waterfront immediately after takeoff.
Øresund Bridge
Depending on the departure runway, you may see the bridge-tunnel system connecting Denmark to Sweden.
Port of Antwerp
One of Europe's largest ports with massive container ships and industrial infrastructure visible on descent.
Flemish Countryside
The final approach provides a look at the dense, historic landscape of Belgium's Flanders region.
The left side is best for morning flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, reducing glare for photography. It is also ideal for spotting the industrial scale of Antwerp and the urban layout of Copenhagen if the flight path tracks slightly south.
