Hallertau Hop Fields
The intricate patterns of the world's largest hop-growing region visible immediately after taking off from Munich.
Nuremberg City
A clear view of the historic Old Town and the Imperial Castle during the initial cruise phase.
Rhön Mountains
The Wasserkuppe and other volcanic peaks of this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in central Germany.
Sauerland Highlands
The 'Land of a Thousand Mountains' offering beautiful snow-capped peaks in winter or lush greenery in summer.
Florianturm
Dortmund's iconic television tower and the city center during the final approach into the airport.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to catch the sunrise light hitting the hills. Look for the transition from the Bavarian plateau to the rolling Sauerland hills about 15 minutes before landing. In winter, this side offers the best views of the Winterberg ski region's snowy slopes.

Danube River
Aerial views of the river winding through the industrial hub of Ingolstadt shortly after departure.
Franconian Vineyards
The picturesque loops of the Main river near Würzburg and its surrounding wine country.
Spessart Nature Park
A vast, dense forest area known for its ancient oak and beech trees visible during the cruise.
Frankfurt Skyline
A distant look at the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers on clear weather days as you pass central Germany.
Opt for this side during evening flights to witness the sunset over the Rhine-Main region. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes into the flight for the Main river loops near Würzburg. Seasonal fog in the autumn can often create a 'sea of clouds' over the Spessart forest.
