POZDUS

Our Recommendation
7.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior mix of natural landscapes, including the Harz Mountains and the rolling hills of Sauerland, while benefiting from better sunlight orientation when flying west during the day.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Wielkopolska Lake District

Shortly after takeoff, view the numerous glacial lakes scattered south of Poznań.

🗺️

Oder-Neisse Border

The distinct geographical border crossing from Poland into Germany marked by the Neisse river.

⛰️

Harz National Park

Aerial views of the Brocken, the highest peak in Northern Germany, often shrouded in mist.

🌲

Weser Uplands

Lush green hills and the winding Weser river as the flight progresses through central Germany.

⛰️

Sauerland Region

Dense forests and reservoir lakes typical of the 'Land of a Thousand Mountains' before descent.

Choose the left side for better natural scenery. On afternoon flights, the sun will be behind or above you, reducing glare compared to the right side. Keep an eye out for the Harz mountains approximately 35-40 minutes into the flight.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Distant Berlin

On clear days, the distant skyline of Berlin and its TV tower can be spotted to the north.

🌊

Elbe River Crossing

The wide Elbe river near Magdeburg, a major historical and commercial waterway.

🏢

Hannover Cityscape

A clear view of the capital of Lower Saxony, including the Maschsee lake and the New Town Hall.

🏭

The Ruhr Valley

An impressive vista of Europe's largest industrial urban sprawl as you approach Düsseldorf.

✈️

Dortmund Airport

The runway and terminal of Dortmund (DTM) are often visible during the initial descent phase.

The right side is ideal for passengers interested in urban geography and the industrial heart of Germany. As you approach DUS, you will see the dense network of cities like Dortmund and Essen. Use a window seat to capture the sprawling 'Metropolis Ruhr' during sunset for spectacular city lights.
