Lake Starnberg
A beautiful view of one of Germany's largest lakes south of Munich immediately after takeoff.
Grossglockner
The highest mountain in Austria and the centerpiece of the High Tauern National Park is visible in the distance.
Triglav Peak
The highest mountain in Slovenia and the Julian Alps, recognizable by its distinct three-headed shape.
Karawanks Range
A dramatic mountain chain that forms the natural border between Austria and Slovenia.
Ljubljana
The Slovenian capital and its surrounding marshes can often be seen just before the final approach into Zagreb.
The right side is unbeatable for afternoon and sunset flights as the light hits the southern faces of the Alps. This side offers more dramatic, high-altitude mountain scenery. During the descent, look for the Medvednica mountain range as you approach Zagreb from the northwest.

Lake Chiemsee

Watzmann Mountain
The iconic third-highest peak in Germany located within the Berchtesgaden National Park.
Dachstein Massif

Graz
The capital of Styria is often visible to the east as the aircraft begins its descent toward Croatia.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready about 10-15 minutes after takeoff to capture Lake Chiemsee. In winter, this side provides excellent views of the snow-covered Northern Limestone Alps.
