Prague City Center
Depending on the runway, enjoy spectacular views of the Vltava River, Charles Bridge, and Prague Castle.
Karlovy Vary
The famous spa triangle of West Bohemia, recognizable by its distinct valley-situated architecture.
Kassel Urban Area
View the city of Kassel and the Hercules monument in the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe from cruising altitude.
Bergisches Land
A green, hilly region with numerous reservoirs and small towns just east of the Rhine-Ruhr area.
Cologne Cathedral
The massive twin spires are often visible on the right when the aircraft turns for final approach to CGN.
The right side is superior for urban spotting. Request a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Cologne Cathedral. Late afternoon flights provide excellent 'golden hour' lighting on the Rhine bridges and the cathedral's facade.

Křivoklátsko Forest
Dense, protected woodlands and rolling hills west of Prague, visible shortly after takeoff.
Ore Mountains
The southern slopes of the Erzgebirge range marking the border between the Czech Republic and Germany.
Rhön Biosphere Reserve
Distinctive volcanic mountain landscapes in central Germany characterized by open distances and plateaus.
Middle Rhine Valley
If the flight path trends south, catch glimpses of the castle-heavy stretch of the Rhine near Koblenz.
Bonn Skyline
The former West German capital and the Post Tower are often visible as the plane descends.
Sit on the left for views of the rugged Thuringian Forest mid-flight. During winter months, these highlands are frequently snow-capped. For the best lighting on these southern features, choose a morning flight to avoid the direct afternoon sun glare.
