A clear view of the 'Venice of Poland' with its numerous islands and bridges over the Odra River.
Lusatian Lake District
A surreal landscape of man-made lakes created from former open-cast lignite mines near the German border.

Spot the massive logistics hubs and the historic center of Leipzig as you traverse central Germany.
The Ruhr Valley
A dense metropolitan tapestry of Essen, Dortmund, and Duisburg, showcasing Europe's industrial heartland.
Meuse River & Liège

The right side provides the best urban photography opportunities. During evening flights, the sprawl of the Ruhr area creates a spectacular 'sea of lights'. Choose a seat in front of the wing for an unobstructed view of the Lusatian lakes, which appear as bright turquoise patches in sunlight.

The Sudetes Range
View the jagged peaks of the Karkonosze mountains along the Polish-Czech border shortly after takeoff.
Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains)
Dense evergreen forests and deep valleys marking the natural border between Saxony and Bohemia.
Wartburg Castle Region
The rolling hills of Thuringia featuring historical fortresses tucked into the green landscape.
The Ardennes Forest
Dramatic limestone cliffs and winding river valleys as the flight enters Belgian airspace.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be behind the aircraft or on the opposite side. Look out for the distinct silhouette of Mount Śnieżka about 20 minutes into the flight. In winter, the snowy peaks of the Sudetes are particularly striking.
