Ingolstadt and Danube
Shortly after takeoff, view the headquarters of Audi and the winding Danube River crossing through Bavaria.
Würzburg & Main River
Visible roughly mid-flight, the winding loops of the Main River and the Marienberg Fortress are key landmarks.
Spessart Mountains
Fly over one of Germany's largest continuous mixed-leaf forest areas, appearing as a vast emerald canopy.
Rothaar Mountains
As you enter North Rhine-Westphalia, the rolling peaks of the Sauerland region dominate the landscape.
Münster City Center
On the final approach to FMO, look for the iconic Gothic spires of St. Lambert's Church and the Münster Cathedral.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare, which is ideal for aerial photography of the Franconian hills. During a standard approach from the south (Runway 25), this side provides a stunning panoramic view of Münster's urban layout before turning north toward the airport.

Hallertau Hop Gardens
View the world's largest hop-growing region, characterized by unique tall wooden trellises in geometric patterns.
Nuremberg Urban Area
A sprawling view of Franconia's largest city, including the Imperial Castle and the Pegnitz River valley.
Fränkische Schweiz
Look east to see the rugged limestone formations and plateau landscapes of the Upper Franconia region.
Teutoburg Forest
A long, narrow ridge of hills that marks the transition into the North German Plain just before arrival.
Osnabrück Skyline
On many landing patterns, the right side offers a clear view of the city of peace and its industrial outskirts.
The right side is best for afternoon flights to capture the 'golden hour' light hitting the Teutoburg Forest ridge. After departure from MUC, keep your eyes peeled immediately for the distinctive patterns of the hop fields, which are most impressive from late spring through harvest in September.
