Frankfurt Skyline
On clear days, the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers are visible to the west while passing over Hesse.
Stuttgart Valley
View the industrial heartland and the home of Porsche and Mercedes-Benz nestled in the hills.
Hohenzollern Castle
Spot the iconic fairytale castle perched atop a lonely mountain in the Swabian Jura.
Lake Constance
A stunning view of the 'Bodensee' and the island of Mainau during the final approach into Friedrichshafen.
Swiss Alps
The majestic Säntis peak and the Appenzell Alps provide a dramatic backdrop across the water.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for the landing approach. For afternoon flights, the sun will be behind the plane, illuminating the Alps and Lake Constance perfectly. Have your camera ready specifically when crossing the Swabian Jura.

Harz Mountains
View the Brocken, the highest peak in Northern Germany, as you fly south over Lower Saxony.
Nuremberg Area
Catch glimpses of the historic Bavarian landscape and the dense Reichswald forests.
Ulm Minster
Look for the world's tallest church steeple rising from the city of Ulm near the Danube River.
Austrian Alps
As the plane descends, the snow-capped Vorarlberg peaks dominate the southeastern horizon.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. Keep an eye out for the Danube River crossing shortly before the descent begins. This side is better for spotting the Harz mountains early in the flight.
