Nuremberg
Clear views of the historic Imperial Castle and the Pegnitz river cutting through the city.
Bamberg
A glimpse of the UNESCO-listed old town and its famous cathedral atop the hills.
Thuringian Forest
The dark green, linear ridge of the Rennsteig trail stretching across the horizon.
The Brocken
The highest peak in the Harz Mountains, often shrouded in mist or snow, standing out from the surrounding plains.
Hildesheim
Historic churches and the final transition from the highlands into the flatlands of Lower Saxony.
The right side is spectacular during late afternoon flights when the setting sun illuminates the Harz Mountains. Use a flight tracker to identify the Brocken peak, as it is the most significant landmark before the final descent. Look for the Mittelland Canal as you approach Hannover.

Ingolstadt
View the industrial heart of Bavaria and the winding Danube river shortly after departure.
Franconian Jura
The rugged limestone plateaus and deep valleys of central Bavaria.
Rhön Mountains
A high-altitude volcanic mountain range known for its open, treeless plateaus.
Kassel Area
Distant views of the hilly landscape surrounding the UNESCO Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe.
Weser Uplands
Dense forests and rolling hills as the flight approaches the North German Plain.
Morning flights are ideal for the left side to avoid direct sunlight and glare. Shortly after takeoff from Munich, watch for the Allianz Arena if the flight departs towards the north. In winter, the snow-capped Rhön peaks are particularly striking from this side.
