Hallertau Hop Gardens
The world's largest hop-growing region appears as a unique grid-like pattern on the ground.
Danube River
A clear view of the Danube winding through the landscape near the UNESCO World Heritage city of Regensburg.
Bavarian Forest
Distant views of the mountain peaks along the German-Czech border, including the Großer Arber.
Ore Mountains
The northern slopes of the Erzgebirge range provide a scenic backdrop as the flight enters Saxony.
Battle of the Nations Monument
The massive Völkerschlachtdenkmal is often clearly visible on the right during the final approach into Leipzig/Halle.
Ideal for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise without glare. If the aircraft lands toward the west (Runway 26), the right side provides an unparalleled view of Leipzig's city center and the Red Bull Arena. Look for the distinct blue curve of the Danube near Regensburg early in the flight.
