DMEMUC

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior visual experience, especially during the final third of the flight, featuring the dramatic silhouettes of the Tatra Mountains and a stunning panorama of the Bavarian Alps and Alpine lakes upon the descent into Munich.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌳

Moscow Forest Belt

Dense green woodlands and traditional Russian dacha settlements immediately following departure from DME.

🏔️

High Tatra Mountains

The jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Carpathian range visible to the south while cruising over Poland and Slovakia.

🌊

Danube River

The winding blue curves of Central Europe's longest river as the flight path nears the Austrian-German border.

⛵

Lake Chiemsee

Known as the 'Bavarian Sea', this massive lake is often clearly visible on the southern approach path.

🏔️

Bavarian Alpine Chain

A breathtaking panoramic view of the northern edge of the Alps during the initial descent phase.

Choose a window seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Alps. For winter flights, the morning sun illuminates the snow-capped Tatras beautifully. On the final approach into MUC from the east, the left side typically offers the best view of the regional lakes.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Minsk Skyline

The orderly grid and Soviet-era architecture of the Belarusian capital can often be spotted to the north.

🌊

Vistula River

The major waterway of Poland cutting through the landscape near Warsaw.

🏰

Prague Cityscape

The 'City of a Hundred Spires' is frequently visible in the distance when crossing the Czech Republic.

🌲

Bohemian Forest

Vast, dark evergreen forests marking the natural border between the Czech Republic and Germany.

⚽

Allianz Arena

Munich's iconic illuminated football stadium is a landmark often seen on the final approach into the airport.

The right side is excellent for spotting major European cities. If the flight lands towards the west (Runway 26L/R), the right side provides a great view of the airport infrastructure and the Allianz Arena. Mid-day flights offer the most consistent lighting for these northern views.
