Immediately after takeoff, catch views of the Imperial Castle and the red-roofed historic center of Nuremberg.
Eastern Alps
Spectacular views of the Austrian Tyrol and the jagged peaks of the Dolomites as the flight crosses into Italy.
Lake Garda
A clear view of Italy's largest lake, appearing like a deep blue fjord cutting into the mountains.
