HHN β PUY
Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn) to Pula Airport (Pula)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an unparalleled panorama of the jagged Dolomites and a dramatic view of the winding Istrian coastline upon descent into Pula.
Odenwald Region
View of the dense forests and rolling hills of Southwest Germany shortly after departure.
Tyrolean Alps
Stunning snow-capped peaks of the Austrian Alps near Innsbruck.
The Dolomites
Breathtaking views of the UNESCO World Heritage limestone massifs in Northern Italy.
Gulf of Trieste
The deep blue waters of the northernmost Adriatic Sea as you cross into Slovenian/Croatian airspace.
Istrian Coastline
Clear views of the red-roofed coastal towns like PoreΔ and Rovinj during the final descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the soft light hitting the Alpine peaks. This side is especially rewarding during the descent, as the aircraft typically banks towards the airport, offering a full view of the Istrian peninsula's rugged shore.
Black Forest
The eastern edges of the Schwarzwald are visible as the flight heads southeast from Hahn.
Lake Constance
The vast expanse of Bodensee where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.
Central Alps
Glaciated peaks and high-altitude terrain along the Swiss-Austrian border.
Venetian Lagoon
Distant views of the Italian coastline and the marshes surrounding Venice.
Brijuni Islands
The beautiful archipelago and national park visible just minutes before landing at Pula.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It offers a unique perspective of the Brijuni Islands just before touchdown, which are a major geographic highlight of the Pula approach.
