Sauerland Hills
Rolling green hills and reservoirs of the 'Land of a Thousand Mountains' shortly after departure.
Harz Mountains
Look for the Brocken peak, the highest point in Northern Germany, visible to the south.
Sudetes Range
In clear weather, the jagged peaks along the Polish-Czech border are visible in the distance.
Ukrainian Steppe
The characteristic 'checkerboard' pattern of vast sunflower and wheat fields stretching to the horizon.
Zhuliany Suburbs
Low-altitude views of the residential districts and the Aviation Museum located right at the airport.
The right side is best for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. Keep an eye out early in the flight for the transition from the industrial Ruhr area to the dense forests of central Germany. Use a polarising filter for photos to cut through the haze over the Polish plains.

Ruhr Metropolis
Dense urban sprawl and industrial heritage sites visible immediately after takeoff from Dortmund.
Vistula River
The winding path of Poland's longest river as the flight passes near Warsaw.
Polesie Lowlands
The unique, marshy landscape and dense forests near the border of Poland and Ukraine.
Kiev City Center
Stunning views of the Dnieper River and the golden domes of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra during the final approach.
For the most iconic view of Kiev's landmarks, sit on the left side and hope for a westward approach into Zhuliany. Evening flights provide beautiful lighting as the sun sets behind the plane, illuminating the city's golden cathedrals.
