Chiemsee
The largest lake in Bavaria, known as the Bavarian Sea, featuring the famous Herreninsel island.
High Tauern Mountains
A massive Alpine range including the Grossglockner, Austria's highest peak, visible mid-flight.
Julian Alps
The rugged limestone peaks of Slovenia, including Mount Triglav, standing out against the green valleys.
Ljubljana
The charming capital of Slovenia can often be spotted nestled in its mountain-fringed basin.
Kvarner Gulf
Deep blue waters and the silhouettes of Krk and Cres islands as the aircraft begins its descent into Istria.
For the best visibility, choose a morning flight to avoid the afternoon sun glare. This side is particularly rewarding for mountain photography as you cross the Alps at cruising altitude. Keep your camera ready as you pass Ljubljana for a great scale perspective of the city against the mountains.

Frankfurt Skyline
A dramatic view of Germany's financial hub and its skyscrapers shortly after departure from FRA.
Zugspitze
Germany's highest mountain is often visible on the horizon within the first half hour of flight.
The Dolomites
The jagged, iconic peaks of the Italian Alps are visible to the south as you pass the border area.
Gulf of Trieste
The shimmering northern Adriatic Sea where Italy, Slovenia, and Croatia meet.
Pula Arena
Depending on the landing pattern, you may see the ancient Roman amphitheater just before touchdown.
On late afternoon flights, the right side catches the golden hour glow over the Dolomites. If the wind requires an approach from the north, sit by the window to spot the red-roofed villages of inland Istria and the ancient ruins of Pula just before landing.
