Which side of the plane to sit from Dortmund Airport (Dortmund) to Heringsdorf Airport (Heringsdorf)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the sprawling Mecklenburg Lake District and a spectacular panorama of the Szczecin Lagoon as you approach the island of Usedom.
Sauerland Foothills
Rolling green hills and dense forests marking the transition from the Ruhr industrial area to the highlands.
Mecklenburg Lake District
A breathtaking tapestry of over a thousand lakes, including the vast Müritz, visible mid-flight.
Müritz National Park
View of the largest terrestrial national park in Germany, characterized by ancient beech forests and wetlands.
Szczecin Lagoon
The massive expanse of water shared between Germany and Poland, dominating the view just before landing.
Świnoujście Coastline
Aerial views of the wide white sandy beaches and the distinctive lighthouse on the Polish side of the island.
The right side is unbeatable during the final descent into Heringsdorf for views of the Stettiner Haff lagoon. In summer, the afternoon sun provides excellent photography light for the inland lake landscapes.
Münsterland
Expansive vistas of the structured agricultural plains and historic estates of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Teutoburg Forest
The prominent, narrow forested ridge cutting through the landscape near Osnabrück.
Rostock Port
A distant but clear view of the bustling Baltic maritime hub and its major cruise terminals.
Greifswalder Bodden
The shimmering blue waters of the shallow bay separating the mainland from the island of Rügen.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Keep an eye out for the Peenemünde Historical Technical Museum at the northern tip of Usedom during the final descent phase.
