A unique perspective on the historical mining and industrial infrastructure of southern Poland.
GdaΕsk Bay Distant

Danish Archipelago
Bird's eye views of the numerous islands and bridges connecting the Danish mainland and Sweden.
Skagerrak Traffic
High-altitude views of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes between Denmark and Norway.
Lysefjord Entrance
As the plane descends, you can see the start of the dramatic fjord systems that define the Norwegian landscape.
Stavanger Cityscape
A great view of the colorful wooden houses and the harbor area of Stavanger just before touchdown.
The right side is essential for seeing the Norwegian coastline. Try to identify the 'Preikestolen' (Pulpit Rock) area if the flight path brings you in from the east. This side also receives better natural light for photography during morning and midday flights from Katowice. Use a polarising filter to cut the glare from the Baltic and North Sea waters.

Keep an eye out for the distinctive shape of the Polish Warta river during the first half of the flight.
