Bavarian Alps
Incredible panoramic views of the northern Alpine range immediately after takeoff from MUC.
Lake Chiemsee
The largest lake in Bavaria, known as the 'Bavarian Sea', visible with its central islands.

The right side is essential for mountain lovers; sit here to see the Alps right after takeoff. For the best lighting, choose a morning flight to have the sun illuminate the mountains. On approach to Domodedovo, the right side often gets a sweeping view of the Moscow megalopolis as the plane turns for alignment.
