Passau Confluence
A stunning aerial view of the Danube, Inn, and Ilz rivers merging at the German-Austrian border.
Bavarian Forest
Vast stretches of Germany's oldest national park, characterized by deep green ridges and granite peaks.
Nuremberg
The historic city and its imperial castle are frequently visible as you traverse the Middle Franconia region.
Main River Valley
Witness the steep vineyards and sharp, horseshoe bends of the Main river near Würzburg and Miltenberg.
FRA Approach
Depending on wind direction, you may see the Hanau skyline and the Kinzig valley before touchdown.
The right side is superior for geography enthusiasts; the confluence at Passau is a major highlight occurring roughly 10-15 minutes after takeoff. For morning flights, this side avoids direct sun glare, providing clearer views for photography.

Alps Panorama
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Austrian and Bavarian Alps are visible to the south.
Chiemsee
The 'Bavarian Sea' can often be seen shimmering in the distance as the flight heads west-northwest.
Munich Perimeter
Glimpses of the Munich metropolitan area and the Allianz Arena are possible depending on the specific air corridor.
Spessart Forest
A vast expanse of dense ancient beech and oak forests providing a lush green canopy during the transition to descent.
Sit on the left for the best chance of catching a sunset glow over the Alps if flying in the evening. This side is also better for spotting the Salzkammergut lakes immediately after departure from Linz.
