A sweeping view of the Vistula River, Wawel Royal Castle, and the historic Old Town shortly after departure.
Wrocław & Oder
Detailed views of the 'City of a Hundred Bridges' and the meandering loops of the Oder river.

Brocken Peak

Choose this side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. If the aircraft departs KRK to the west, look down immediately for the city center. Keep a camera ready mid-flight for the Harz Mountains, and watch for the stadium during the final landing pattern which often approaches DTM from the east.

Afternoon flights are optimal for this side to avoid the southern sun's glare. Early in the flight, look for the industrial clusters of Silesia. As you enter German airspace, the Thuringian Forest offers deep green textures that are especially vibrant during the autumn months.
