Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Linz Hörsching Airport (Linz)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of historic urban landscapes and dramatic natural features, including the medieval cities of Nuremberg and Regensburg, and the distant silhouette of the Northern Limestone Alps on clear days.
Imperial City of Nuremberg
The sprawling old town and the Kaiserburg castle are often clearly visible mid-flight.
Regensburg Cathedral
The UNESCO World Heritage old town and the Gothic spires of St. Peter's Cathedral along the Danube.
Walhalla Temple
The massive white marble neo-classical hall of fame standing high above the Danube river bend near Donaustauf.
Passau Confluence
The spectacular 'City of Three Rivers' where the Inn, Ilz, and Danube meet in a colorful display.
Alpine Panorama
Distant but stunning views of the Austrian Alps, including the Dachstein massif, visible on the horizon.
The right side is the 'cultural side.' For the best views of the Alps in the distance, book a morning flight when the sun illuminates the peaks from the east. Keep your camera ready as you pass Regensburg for a perfect shot of the Danube's 'Great Loop' just before entering Austrian airspace.
Sauerland Hills
Lush green highlands and reservoir lakes of the 'Land of a Thousand Mountains' shortly after departure.
Rhön Mountains
Volcanic landscapes and the open plateaus of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in central Germany.
Bohemian Forest
The dense, ancient border forests of the Böhmerwald visible to the north during the approach into Upper Austria.
Burg Kreuzenstein
On specific northern approach patterns, views of historic fortifications nestled in the hills.
The left side is best for seeing the rugged nature of the German central highlands. Aim for an evening flight to see the sun reflecting off the many reservoirs in the Sauerland. Watch for the Mühlviertel region's rolling hills as the plane begins its final descent into Linz.
