Wetterstein Massif
Dramatic limestone cliffs and jagged peaks visible shortly after takeoff from Innsbruck.
Zugspitze
Germany's highest mountain peak at 2,962 meters, standing prominently on the border.
Ammersee
The third-largest lake in Bavaria, known for its deep blue waters and surrounding green hills.
Odenwald
Dense forested mountain range providing a lush green carpet as you descend into the Rhine-Main area.
Sit on the left for the iconic 'Alpine start.' In the morning, the rising sun illuminates the northern faces of the Alps beautifully. If the flight lands toward the west (Runway 25) at Frankfurt, the left side often provides a broader view of the Rhine valley.

Innsbruck Cityscape
A bird's-eye view of the historic 'Old Town' and the Inn river during the initial climb.
Munich City & Allianz Arena
Depending on the flight path, the Bavarian capital and its glowing white football stadium are often visible.
Danube River
The winding silver ribbon of the Danube crossing through the southern German plateau.
Frankfurt Skyline
The 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers are frequently visible on the final approach into FRA from the south or east.
The right side is ideal for spotting the city of Munich and its landmarks mid-flight. For the best view of the Frankfurt skyline during landing, the right side is typically superior if the aircraft is approaching from the east (Runway 25), which is the most common configuration.
