Ljubljana Cityscape
A clear view of the Slovenian capital and its castle shortly after departure.
Karawanks Range
The rugged mountain chain forming the natural border between Slovenia and Austria.
Melk Abbey
The massive yellow Benedictine abbey perched on a cliff overlooking the Danube.
Waldviertel
The rolling hills and dense forests of the Austrian 'Forest Quarter'.
Prague Historic Center
Unmatched views of Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, and the Vltava River on the standard approach.
The right side is essential for the arrival phase. If the wind favors Runway 24, the plane will circle over the city, giving you a 'postcard' view of Prague's spires. Keep your camera ready about 10 minutes before landing for the Vltava river meanders.

The industrial and cultural hub of Upper Austria nestled along the river bend.

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is better for spotting the higher, snow-capped Austrian peaks in the distance. During the descent, watch for the industrial landscape of North-Central Bohemia and the Kladno region.
