Frankfurt Skyline
On clear days, the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers are visible on the horizon to the southwest.
Nuremberg
An excellent aerial perspective of the Imperial Castle and the medieval layout of the old city.
Altmühl Valley
The river's dramatic meanders through the Franconian Jura limestone cliffs are a geographic highlight.
Bavarian Alps
A breathtaking panorama of the Alpine ridge appears on the horizon during the final 15 minutes of flight.

A UNESCO World Heritage site known for its medieval architecture, visible as you cross into Upper Franconia.
