Fehmarn Island
Clear views of the German island and the Fehmarn Sound Bridge, marking the transition into the Baltic Sea.
Møns Klint
The spectacular 6-kilometer stretch of white chalk cliffs rising 128 meters above the turquoise Baltic waters.
Øresund Bridge
The legendary bridge-tunnel link between Denmark and Sweden is perfectly visible just minutes before touchdown.
Offshore Wind Farms
Impressive views of the Middelgrunden wind turbines arranged in a graceful curve within the Øresund strait.
The right side is the best choice for afternoon flights as the sun illuminates the white cliffs of Møn. Keep your camera ready about 10-15 minutes before landing for the cliffs, and immediately after for the Øresund Bridge and the artificial island of Peberholm.
