Dnieper River Reservoirs
Expansive water systems near Zaporizhzhia and central Ukraine visible shortly after takeoff.
Carpathian Mountains
The rugged terrain of the High Tatras and the southern Ukrainian ranges provide a jagged horizon.
Vienna and the Danube
Distant views of the Austrian capital and the winding path of the Danube River across Central Europe.
Northern Limestone Alps
Spectacular snow-capped peaks visible as the flight descends into the Bavarian plateau.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid harsh direct sunlight while capturing the crisp shadows of the Alps. The transition from the flat Ukrainian plains to the jagged Carpathians is a major highlight about midway through the flight. Keep your camera ready for the final 20 minutes of the flight as the Alps come into sharp focus to the south.
