KVADUS

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a breathtaking sequence of the Balkan peaks, a direct view of the high Austrian Alps, and the scenic castles of the Middle Rhine Valley during the descent into Duesseldorf.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Strymonian Gulf

Panoramic views of the northern Aegean coastline and the Thracian Sea immediately after takeoff from Kavala.

🏔️

Pirin National Park

The jagged marble peaks and glacial lakes of this UNESCO-listed Bulgarian mountain range.

🏙️

Belgrade Confluence

The historic meeting point of the Sava and Danube rivers in the heart of the Serbian capital.

❄️

High Tauern Alps

Dramatic vistas of Austria's highest mountains, including snow-capped peaks and sprawling glaciers.

🏰

Middle Rhine Valley

The iconic UNESCO World Heritage site featuring steep vineyards and historic hill-top castles during the descent.

Sit on the left for the best lighting during afternoon flights, as the sun will be behind you or to the south. Look out for the sharp turn near the Rhine river; if the wind is from the west, you will get an incredible view of the Cologne Cathedral in the distance.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🌲

Rhodope Mountains

Lush, rolling green landscapes and deep river gorges as the flight departs Greek airspace.

💧

Lake Balaton

Central Europe's largest lake, easily recognizable by its elongated shape and turquoise waters.

⛪

Salzburg Lake District

The picturesque Salzkammergut region with its deep blue lakes and the city of Salzburg nestled at the edge of the Alps.

🚜

Bavarian Forest

A vast expanse of dense woodland along the border of Germany and the Czech Republic.

🏭

Ruhr Industrial Landscape

The sprawling urban and industrial heart of Germany, including massive open-cast mines and steel works on final approach.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready as you approach the Rhine-Ruhr area, as the complex network of canals and industrial architecture provides a unique geometric perspective from the air.
