Moselle River Bends
Dramatic, steep-sided river loops and vineyard-covered hills just minutes before landing.
Choose the left side for the best chance to see the Forth Bridges if taking off towards the east. For evening flights, this side catches the soft 'blue hour' light over the North Sea. Keep your camera ready about 10-15 minutes before landing for the Moselle river views.
