Szczecin Lagoon
View the vast 'Stettiner Haff' and the intricate network of islands at the mouth of the Oder River shortly after takeoff.
Schorfheide-Chorin
A massive UNESCO Biosphere Reserve featuring ancient beech forests and glacial lakes north of Berlin.
The Brocken
The highest peak in Northern Germany, often visible rising above the surrounding Harz Mountain range.
Sauerland Uplands
Rugged, forested hills and occasional medieval ruins as the aircraft begins its final descent into Dortmund.
For morning flights, the left side is ideal as the sun is positioned to the south, illuminating the landscape without causing direct glare. Keep a lookout for the circular Brocken peak approximately 30 minutes into the flight.
