Hunsrück & Palatinate Forest
Dense German woodlands and rolling hills shortly after departure from Hahn.
Central Swiss Alps

Mount Etna
On clear days, the distant silhouette of Sicily's famous volcano can be seen to the southeast during descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the Italian mainland. This side is excellent for seeing the length of the Italian peninsula, though the features are often further away than the peaks on the right. Watch for the crystalline waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea as you cross from the mainland toward Sicily.
