Veluwe National Park
The largest continuous forest area in the Netherlands, looking like a vast green ocean from above.
IJssel River Meanders
Follow the silver curves of the IJssel River as it winds through lush floodplains.
Star-shaped Zwolle
The historic city of Zwolle is clearly identifiable by its star-shaped defensive moat.
Drenthe Heathlands
Purple-tinted landscapes and rural farming plots characteristic of the northern provinces.
The right side is best for nature lovers. You will pass directly over the Veluwe zoom, which is particularly stunning in late summer when the heather blooms purple. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for photographing the river valleys and the historic fortifications of the Hanseatic towns.
