Massive container terminals and the Elbe River winding towards the North Sea visible during the initial climb.
Harz Mountains
The Brocken peak and the northernmost mountain range in Germany appearing shortly after reaching cruise altitude.
Bavarian Lakes
Views of Lake Starnberg and Ammersee shimmering south of Munich as you approach the Alpine foothills.
Zugspitze
Germany's highest mountain and the Wetterstein range provide a dramatic transition into high Alpine terrain.
Lake Garda
The absolute highlight of the trip; spectacular views of the entire lake and the Sirmione peninsula during descent.
The right side is essential for seeing Lake Garda, which is the most scenic landmark of this route. Choose an afternoon flight for warm, golden light hitting the Alpine peaks and the lake's surface. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the steep descent over the Italian pre-Alps.
