Ruhr Metropolis
Densely packed urban landscape of Essen, Bochum, and Dortmund, showing the industrial heart of Germany.
Harz Mountains
On clear days, the silhouette of the Brocken peak is visible to the south across the North German Plain.
Hanover Cityscape
Views of the Lower Saxony capital, featuring the Maschsee lake and the New Town Hall.
Magdeburg & Elbe
The dramatic curve of the Elbe River and the historic cathedral city of Magdeburg.
Berlin Skyline
The most iconic view including the TV Tower (Fernsehturm), Reichstag, and the dense urban core during the final approach.
The right side is essential for the classic 'Berlin approach.' For the best visibility of the Harz Mountains, choose a winter flight with crisp, clear air. Late afternoon flights offer golden-hour lighting over the Berlin cityscape, though the sun will be on this side of the aircraft.

Münsterland
A scenic patchwork of agricultural fields and historic moated castles typical of the Westphalian landscape.
Teutoburg Forest
A prominent forested ridge of hills stretching across the horizon north of Osnabrück.
Steinhuder Meer
Lower Saxony's largest lake, easily recognizable by its circular shape and the artificial island of Wilhelmstein.
Wolfsburg
The massive Volkswagen factory complex and the distinctive Autostadt towers visible near the Mittelland Canal.
Havelland
The marshy, water-rich lowlands of Brandenburg featuring the winding Havel River before the Berlin arrival.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights to avoid direct glare. This side is better for observing the transition from industrial landscapes to the serene, lake-filled regions of Northern Germany. Watch for the VW factory in Wolfsburg about 35 minutes into the flight.
