Ingolstadt Audi Complex
Spot the massive industrial headquarters of Audi along the Danube river shortly after leaving Munich.
Historic Nuremberg
A clear view of the Imperial Castle and the red-roofed old town as the flight passes over Franconia.
Harz Mountains
The Brocken, the highest peak in Northern Germany, is easily identifiable by its meteorological towers and snowy cap.
Hannover Skyline
The Maschsee lake and the New Town Hall provide a clear reference point for this major city in Lower Saxony.
Weser River Bends
Follow the silver thread of the Weser as it meanders through the landscape toward the Bremen city limits.
The right side is the prime spot for afternoon flights to avoid the glare of the setting sun. The highlight of the route is the Harz Mountain range; look for it roughly 30-35 minutes into the flight. For the best views of Nuremberg, try to sit in the forward section of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction during the mid-flight cruise.

Munich Airport Layout
Excellent views of the Erding district and the intricate taxiway system of MUC immediately after takeoff.
Nördlinger Ries
A massive, circular meteorite impact crater visible as a distinct depression in the landscape of western Bavaria.
Rhön Mountains
Known as the 'Land of Open Distances,' this volcanic range features the prominent Wasserkuppe peak.
Kassel Bergpark
Depending on the specific airway, you can often spot the Hercules monument and the sprawling Wilhelmshöhe park.
Bremen City Center
As the plane banks for the final approach, the Weserstadion and the historic Schnoor quarter are often visible.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. Keep your camera ready about 10 minutes after takeoff to capture the unique circular geography of the Nördlinger Ries impact site. During winter, look for the snow-capped ridges of the Rhön mountains which stand out against the darker forests.
