ORBBLE

Which side of the plane to sit from Örebro Airport (Orebro) to Borlange Airport (Borlange)?

Our Recommendation
7.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Örebro cityscape and the historic mining towns of the Bergslagen region, along with better visibility of the Dalälven river system during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏰

Örebro City & Castle

A clear view of the 13th-century castle and the 'Svampen' water tower immediately after takeoff from ORB.

🏘️

Lindesberg

A scenic town situated between Lake Lindesjön and Lake Kyrkviken, showcasing classic Swedish architecture.

⚒️

Ludvika Mining Heritage

Visual evidence of Sweden's industrial history with old mine pits and contemporary steel industry structures visible from above.

🌊

Dalälven River

The majestic river that snakes through the landscape, signaling the approach into the Dalarna region.

Sit on the right for the best morning light, which illuminates the mining towns and lakes. This side is also better for spotting the industrial landmarks of Borlänge, such as the SSAB steel mill, during the final approach. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the Örebro skyline.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🦢

Lake Tysslingen

Located just west of Örebro, this lake is famous for its massive congregations of whooper swans during the spring migration.

🌲

Kilsbergen Mountains

A forested mountain range providing a stark green contrast to the plains, often referred to as the 'Blue Mountains' of the region.

🛶

Hällefors Lakes

The intricate network of small lakes and narrow waterways characteristic of the western Bergslagen wilderness.

Watch for the shifting colors of the forest floors in autumn. Since the flight is short and low, the left side provides the best view of the sunset if you are flying on a late afternoon flight during the winter months.
