Nissan River Path

Follow the winding course of the Nissan river as it snakes through the Halland countryside immediately after takeoff.

Lake Bolmen (North)

View the northern expanse of Sweden's tenth largest lake, dotted with numerous small islands and pristine shorelines.

Helgasjön Overview

A beautiful final view of the large lake surrounding the northern side of Växjö just before touchdown at VXO.

For the most scenic experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the deep blues of the lakes. Keep your camera ready during the final 5 minutes of the flight for the best views of the Kronoberg ruins on the left wing side.
