Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the Greek gods, standing as the highest point in Greece, often visible to the north.
Hohe Tauern
Glaciers and the highest peaks of the Austrian Alps, including the Grossglockner massif.
Bavarian Lowlands
The transition from the Alps to the rolling hills and historic towns of southern Germany.
Rhine-Ruhr Skyline

The right side is generally shaded on this northwest heading, making it perfect for photography without cabin reflections. Keep your camera ready for the first 15 minutes for the Aegean islands and the 90-minute mark for the main Alpine crossing.
