The impressive bridge system connecting the islands of Zealand and Funen is often visible to the west.
Kiel Canal
The world's busiest artificial waterway, clearly visible cutting across the base of the Jutland peninsula.
Wadden Sea
On clear days, the shimmering tidal flats and the East Frisian Islands are visible along the North Sea coast.
Bremen
The historic city on the Weser river provides a major landmark mid-flight.
Teutoburg Forest
Long, narrow forested ridges that define the landscape of Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia.
Rhine River Bend
The winding Rhine river and the Düsseldorf skyline during the final approach, especially if landing from the north.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the North Sea. Keep an eye out for the distinct line of the Kiel Canal early in the German portion of the flight. The approach into DUS often follows the Rhine, offering great views of the river's industrial and natural bends.
