Moselle Valley
Distant views of the steep, terraced vineyards and winding river loops of the famous wine-growing region.
Vulkaneifel
Distinctive volcanic craters and water-filled 'Maars' that appear as perfectly round blue lakes in the landscape.
Cologne Skyline
The towering twin spires of the Cologne Cathedral and the Hohenzollern Bridge are clearly visible to the east during the approach.
The Rhine Bend
Detailed views of the heavy barge traffic on the Rhine River as it snakes through the dense urban landscape towards Düsseldorf.
Rheinturm
Düsseldorf's iconic telecommunications tower and the sleek architecture of the Media Harbour during the final approach.
The right side is essential for viewing the major German landmarks. If landing from the south (Runway 05), you will fly directly past Cologne. For morning flights, this side will be quite bright, so keep your window shade ready but look out for the reflection of the sun on the Rhine.

Luxembourg City
Aerial view of the Alzette and Pétrusse valleys with the historic fortifications of the 'Gibraltar of the North' immediately after takeoff.
The High Fens
The unique upland moorland and plateau region near the Belgian-German border, showcasing raw, natural terrain.
Garzweiler Surface Mine
An immense open-cast lignite mine that looks like a lunar landscape, featuring massive bucket-wheel excavators.
Aachen City
The historic coronation city of German kings, with its unique octagonal cathedral visible on the horizon.
Sit on the left for the best view of the massive open-cast mines during the descent; they are one of the most surreal sights in Western Europe. Afternoon flights benefit from the sun being behind the plane on this side, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Eifel forests.
