Which side of the plane to sit from Dresden Airport (Dresden) to EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport (Mulhouse)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the German central highlands and the potential for a stunning Alpine panorama on the horizon as you approach the Swiss border.
Ore Mountains
Dramatic views of the Erzgebirge ridge immediately south of Dresden after takeoff.
Nuremberg
Aerial view of the historic Franconian city and its surrounding urban landscape.
Swabian Jura
The striking limestone plateau stretching across Baden-Württemberg.
Swiss Alps
On clear days, the majestic snow-capped peaks of the Bernese Oberland appear on the distant southern horizon.
Southern Black Forest
Dense evergreen forests and deep valleys visible during the initial descent phase.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the horizon. Early morning flights are best for the Left Side as the sun illuminates the Alpine peaks from the east, making them pop against the sky. Keep an eye out for the distant shimmer of Lake Constance.
Thuringian Forest
The 'Green Heart of Germany' presents a vast canopy of spruce and fir trees.
Odenwald
Rolling hills and wooded lowlands as the flight path moves toward the southwest.
Rhine Valley
The silver ribbon of the Rhine River winding through the industrial and agricultural heartland.
Vosges Mountains
The rounded summits (ballons) of the French mountain range visible during the approach to BSL.
Three Country Corner
The unique convergence of Germany, France, and Switzerland just before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the French Vosges mountains. During the final approach into EuroAirport, you will get a great look at the Rhine River and the industrial landscapes of Mulhouse. Use a polarising filter on your camera to reduce glare from the afternoon sun.
