Search flights from KRK to MUC
Tatra Mountains
The highest range of the Carpathians, offering jagged granite peaks on the Polish-Slovak border.
Beskid Mountains
Dense forested ridges and deep valleys stretching across Southern Poland and Northern Slovakia.
Northern Limestone Alps
On clear days, the jagged skyline of the German and Austrian Alps dominates the southern horizon.
Lake Chiemsee
Known as the 'Bavarian Sea', this massive lake is often visible during the descent into Munich.
Book a seat on the left side (A) for sunset flights to enjoy the warm glow over the Alps. In winter, the snow-capped Tatras are a major highlight within the first 15 minutes of flight. Seats in front of the wing provide the clearest views of the mountain ranges without engine heat distortion.

Bavarian Farmsteads
Characteristic red-roofed villages and perfectly manicured agricultural plots of Lower Bavaria.
The right side (F) is best for views of Munich's city center and the Allianz Arena if the aircraft is landing towards the west (Runway 26). This side generally stays cooler during afternoon flights as it faces north, away from the direct sun.
