Kamnik-Savinja Alps
Rising sharply north of Ljubljana, these jagged peaks provide a stunning backdrop immediately after departure from Brnik.
Schneeberg and Rax
The easternmost 2,000-meter peaks of the Alps in Austria, often snow-capped well into late spring.
Brno Panorama
The capital of Moravia is clearly visible, including the Spilberk Castle and the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul.
Moravian Karst
A forested highland area famous for its deep limestone canyons and over a thousand caves north of Brno.
Warsaw Western Suburbs
During the descent into Chopin Airport, you get a sprawling view of the Masovian plains and the modern Warsaw skyline in the distance.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun which will be on the right. Keep your camera ready within the first 10 minutes for the most impressive Alpine ridge views. If the approach into Warsaw is from the west, you will see the Vistula river snaking through the landscape.
