The Dolomites
Iconic jagged limestone formations and deep valleys of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
Grossglockner

Upper Silesia

Vistula River

The right side is highly recommended for late afternoon or evening flights; the setting sun can create a stunning pink glow on the Dolomites, a phenomenon known as Enrosadira. In the winter months, this side offers better views of the snow-covered Beskids as you cross from Czechia into Poland.
