Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior perspective of the Rhine river upon departure, followed by the industrial heart of the Ruhr region and a breathtaking final approach over the Greifswalder Bodden and the northern Usedom coastline.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

The Rhine River

Aerial views of the winding Rhine as you climb out of Düsseldorf, showcasing the city's riverfront.

🏙️

Ruhr Metropolis

A vast urban panorama of Duisburg, Essen, and the industrial landscape of Germany's most populous region.

🌳

Teutoburg Forest

Distinctive long ridges of dark green forest cutting through the Lower Saxony plains.

🏰

Schwerin Lake Region

Glances of the Schwerin inner lakes and the famous fairy-tale castle if visibility is high.

🚢

Greifswalder Bodden

The sparkling shallow bay of the Baltic Sea that signals the final descent into Usedom.

🏖️

Usedom Cliffs

The dramatic white coastline and sandy beaches of northern Usedom as the plane aligns for landing.

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the deep blue Baltic Sea and the white sandy beaches. If landing on Runway 28, you will get a direct view of the Peenemünde historical site.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🗼

Düsseldorf Skyline

A great view of the Rheinturm and the Media Harbour immediately after takeoff depending on wind direction.

🏔️

Sauerland Hills

Rolling highlands to the southeast, known as the 'Land of a Thousand Mountains'.

🛶

Mecklenburg Lake District

The Müritz and surrounding lakes appear as a blue mosaic amidst dense German forests.

🗺️

Stettin Lagoon

The massive Stettiner Haff water body shared between Germany and Poland visible on the right.

🌲

Usedom Nature Park

The lush interior wetlands and forests of the island's southern reach during the final approach.

The right side is excellent for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Lake District. Watch for the 'Stettiner Haff'—it is one of the largest coastal lagoons in the Baltic. On a clear day, you can see deep into Polish territory towards the city of Szczecin.
