Search flights from HHN to ZAD
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, often visible in high detail.
Tyrolean Alps
Spectacular views of the Arlberg and Silvretta mountain groups with snow-capped peaks most of the year.
Kvarner Gulf
The first glimpse of the deep blue Adriatic Sea as you cross from the Slovenian border into Croatia.
Island of Pag
The distinct 'moon-like' barren white landscape of Pag island surrounded by crystal clear waters.
Zadar Archipelago
Dozens of small, uninhabited islands visible during the final descent into Zadar Airport.
Sit on the right for the iconic 'Dalmatian view'. The last 15 minutes are the highlight; the descent path usually flies parallel to the coast, offering a perfect angle of the islands. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for the turquoise coastal colors.
Book Hotels in Zadar
Hunsrück Range
Dense forest coverage and rolling hills surrounding the Hahn airport region immediately after takeoff.
Hohe Tauern
Impressive views of the High Tauern mountains in Austria, featuring jagged peaks and deep glacial valleys.
Ljubljana Basin
The capital of Slovenia and its surrounding green valleys nestled at the foot of the Alps.
Inland Velebit
The massive limestone spine of Croatia, showing the dramatic transition between continental and Mediterranean climates.
Morning flights are best for the left side to avoid direct sun glare. Pay attention about 45 minutes into the flight for the best views of the Slovenian Alpine valleys. This side is better if you prefer mountain ruggedness over coastal panoramas.
