NRN → ZAD
Which side of the plane to sit from Weeze Airport (Weeze) to Zadar Airport (Zadar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this route as it offers breathtaking panoramas of the Julian Alps followed by an unparalleled descent over the turquoise waters and white limestone islands of the Croatian coast.

Lake Chiemsee
Known as the 'Bavarian Sea', this large lake is often visible as the flight transitions into the Alpine region.
Julian Alps
Dramatic views of Mount Triglav and the sharp limestone needles of the Slovenian Alps.
Kvarner Gulf
The stunning transition from the mainland to the deep blue Adriatic Sea near Rijeka.
Krk and Rab Islands
Distinctive white rocky coastlines and hidden coves of the northern Dalmatian islands.
Zadar Archipelago
A mosaic of dozens of small islands including the long, thin shape of Pag Island during the final approach.
Sit on the right for the iconic 'Island Hopping' view. The descent is the highlight; as the plane turns for Zadar Airport, you will fly directly over the Kornati-style archipelago. For evening flights, this side provides spectacular sunset reflections over the Adriatic, though glare can be an issue.

Lower Rhine Plains
Aerial views of the structured agricultural landscapes near the German-Dutch border shortly after takeoff.
Hohe Tauern National Park
Glacial peaks of the Austrian Alps, including distant views of the Grossglockner massif.
Slovenian Karst
Dense green forests and the rugged limestone plateaus of the Slovenian interior.
Velebit Mountain Range
The dramatic, jagged peaks of Croatia's largest mountain range bordering the Adriatic.
The left side is best for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. Keep your camera ready about 50 minutes into the flight for the high Alpine ridges. As you descend, look for the deep canyons of the Paklenica National Park just before the turn toward Zadar.
