Search flights from DTM to SPU
Hohe Tauern
Spectacular views of the Grossglockner, Austria's highest peak, and its surrounding glaciers.
Julian Alps
View Triglav, the highest peak in Slovenia, and the lush green valleys of the Soca region.
Kvarner Gulf
The first glimpse of the Adriatic Sea, passing over the islands of Krk and Cres near Rijeka.
Kornati Archipelago
A breathtaking mosaic of over 100 barren, white-stone islands scattered in the deep blue sea.
Historic Trogir
During the final approach to SPU, you get a bird's-eye view of the UNESCO-listed medieval island town of Trogir.
This is the definitive side for this route. For the best photography, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Morning flights provide excellent lighting for the Adriatic coastline without the afternoon sun glare reflecting off the water. Watch for the dramatic change from alpine forest to Mediterranean scrubland in a matter of minutes.
