High Tauern Range
Clear views of Austria's highest glaciated peaks, including the Grossglockner massif.
Julian Alps
The dramatic jagged peaks of Slovenia, featuring Mount Triglav in the distance.
Kvarner Gulf
The first breathtaking view of the deep blue Adriatic Sea near the city of Rijeka.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A spectacular bird's-eye view of islands like Pag, Braฤ, and Hvar during the descent.
Kastela Bay
Low-altitude views of the turquoise coastline and red-roofed villages just before touchdown.
The right side is the definitive choice for this route. Afternoon flights are particularly scenic as the sun illuminates the Dalmatian islands and the turquoise water. For the best landing experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat blur, as the plane often executes a scenic bank over the islands of ล olta or Braฤ before landing at SPU.

Nuremberg Cityscape
Immediate views of Nuremberg's historic center and the Imperial Castle shortly after takeoff.
Berchtesgaden Alps
The striking silhouette of the Watzmann massif and the surrounding Bavarian mountains.
Austrian Lake District
Emerald waters of the Salzkammergut lakes, including Attersee and Traunsee, visible in the distance.
Velebit Mountains
The rugged, grey limestone peaks of the Dinaric Alps as the plane crosses into Croatia.
Split City Center
A glimpse of Diocletian's Palace and the Riva harbor on the final approach into SPU airport.
The left side is excellent for early morning flights as the sun rises to the east, casting long shadows over the Alpine valleys. Watch for the transition from the green forests of Bavaria to the stark white limestone of the Dinaric Alps. During the landing phase, look for the historic harbor of Split if the plane approaches from the east.
