FRAWRO

Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a more dramatic view of Central Europe's mountain ranges, including the Ore Mountains and the Karkonosze, alongside the iconic solitary Ślęża mountain upon descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🌲

Thuringian Forest

A long, continuous ridge of deep green forest that marks the transition into eastern Germany.

🏔️

Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge)

The dramatic border range between Germany and Czechia, often snow-capped in winter months.

🏔️

Karkonosze Mountains

The highest peaks of the Sudetes, including Śnieżka, visible in the distance during the descent into Lower Silesia.

⛰️

Mount Ślęża

An isolated, mystical peak rising abruptly from the plains just southwest of Wroclaw, used as an ancient cult site.

🏟️

Wroclaw Stadium

On final approach to Runway 11, the 'Tarczyński Arena' is often clearly visible with its distinct white teflon mesh.

The right side is significantly more scenic due to the mountain vistas. For the best photography, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the Sudetes peaks in the background. During afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent saturation for the mountain views.

Left Side Highlights
6.7
🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

If departing to the west before turning, catch a glimpse of the Mainhattan skyscrapers and the busy airport layout.

⛰️

Taunus Mountains

Rolling forested hills north of Frankfurt that provide a lush green backdrop shortly after takeoff.

🏙️

Leipzig Cityscape

During the mid-flight cruise, the urban center of Leipzig and its surrounding industrial landscapes are visible to the north.

🌲

Lower Silesian Forests

Large, dense pine forests that characterize the landscape as the aircraft crosses the border from Germany into Poland.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights and a better perspective of the flat Thuringian Basin. Look for the distinct bend of the Oder River as you enter Polish airspace. If landing toward the west (Runway 29), you may see the northern residential districts of Wroclaw.
