NUE → ZQW
Which side of the plane to sit from Nuremberg Airport (Nuernberg) to Zweibrücken Airport (Zweibruecken)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a more diverse landscape, featuring the historic Neckar Valley, the iconic city of Heidelberg, and the industrial-metropolitan hubs of the Rhine-Neckar region.
Rothenburg ob der Tauber
The quintessential medieval German town visible as you cross the Franconian Heights.
Neckar Valley
Deeply carved river valleys lined with terraced vineyards near Heilbronn.
Heidelberg Castle
The world-famous ruins of the castle overlooking the Neckar River and the Old Bridge.
Rhine River Crossing
A major European waterway busy with cargo ships near the cities of Mannheim and Ludwigshafen.
Speyer Cathedral
The massive Romanesque structure, a UNESCO World Heritage site, visible near the riverbanks.
The right side is best for photography of German landmarks. Try to fly during late afternoon to see the sunset reflecting off the Rhine. Keep your camera ready shortly after the mid-flight point for the Heidelberg area.
Nuremberg City Center
Aerial view of the Imperial Castle and the red-roofed old town shortly after takeoff from NUE.
Swabian Jura
Rolling hills and limestone plateaus of the Schwäbische Alb visible to the south.
Northern Black Forest
Dense evergreen forests marking the northern boundary of the Schwarzwald region.
Southern Palatinate Forest
Large continuous forest tracts punctuated by sandstone rock formations as you approach ZQW.
Choose the left side for morning departures to have the sun behind you, illuminating the landscape perfectly. On very clear days, look far south for a glimpse of the Alpine silhouette.
