Which side of the plane to sit from Leipzig/Halle Airport (Leipzig) to Bremen Airport (Bremen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic scenery, featuring the Harz Mountains and its highest peak, the Brocken, along with several prominent lakes and historic cities.
Halle (Saale)
Directly after takeoff, catch a glimpse of this historic city and its distinctive five towers.
Harz Mountains
The rugged landscape of Germany's northernmost mountain range, providing a sharp contrast to the flat plains.
Brocken Summit
The highest peak in Northern Germany, often shrouded in mist but identifiable by its prominent transmission tower.
Steinhuder Meer
Lower Saxony's largest lake appears as a massive blue expanse shortly before the final descent into Bremen.
Sit on the left for the most diverse geography. Morning flights are best as the sun illuminates the northern slopes of the Harz. Watch for the Brocken peak approximately 15 minutes into the flight.
Magdeburg
Views of the Elbe river and the impressive Gothic cathedral as you head northwest.
Wolfsburg Autostadt
The sprawling Volkswagen factory complex and the iconic glass car-delivery towers are visible from cruising altitude.
Lüneburg Heath
A vast nature reserve characterized by heathland, woods, and sandy terrain stretching toward the horizon.
Aller River
Follow the winding path of the Aller river as it snakes through the verdant landscape of Lower Saxony.
The right side is ideal for passengers interested in industrial landmarks like the VW plant. Choose an afternoon flight to avoid direct sunlight while looking north toward the Lüneburg Heath.
