CPH → BSL
Which side of the plane to sit from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen) to EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport (Mulhouse)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an exceptional view of the Øresund Bridge immediately after takeoff and provides a stunning panorama of the Black Forest and the Swiss Alps on the final approach into the tri-border region.
Øresund Bridge
Massive bridge-tunnel link between Denmark and Sweden visible shortly after departing CPH.
Hamburg Panorama
Aerial views of Germany's second-largest city and its expansive Alster lake system.
Harz Mountains
The highest mountain range in Northern Germany, known for dense forests and the Brocken peak.
Black Forest
Dense evergreen forests and rolling hills of southwestern Germany during the descent.
Swiss Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped Bernese Alps appear on the horizon as the plane nears Basel.
Book a window seat on the left (A) for the iconic bridge view at takeoff. During morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the German landscape. Keep your camera ready 15 minutes before landing for the best mountain vistas.
Great Belt Fixed Link
The suspension bridge connecting the Danish islands of Zealand and Funen can often be spotted.
Port of Hamburg
A clear view of one of the world's largest container ports and the Elbe river estuary.
Rhine River
The winding silver ribbon of the Rhine serves as a constant geographic guide through Germany.
Vosges Mountains
The rounded peaks of the French Vosges range visible as the aircraft enters the Upper Rhine Plain.
Basel City Center
A close-up view of the historic city and the pharmaceutical hubs before touching down.
The right side (F) is superior for sunset flights, as you will see the sky turn orange over the Vosges and the Rhine. It offers a better perspective of the industrial heart of the region. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain from the flat North German Plain to the Rhine Valley.
