Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides an excellent vantage point for the Ore Mountains border crossing and a grand entry into the Ruhr Valley urban cluster.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Ore Mountains

The rugged border ridge between Czechia and Saxony, featuring deep valleys and historic mining towns.

🏙️

Leipzig Urban Area

The sprawling cityscape of Leipzig and its distinctive Monument to the Battle of the Nations.

🏞️

Sauerland Reservoirs

The scenic Rothaar Mountains punctuated by large water reservoirs like the Möhnesee.

🏭

Ruhr Industrial Belt

A massive urban and industrial landscape including the cities of Dortmund, Essen, and Duisburg.

🗼

Düsseldorf Rhine Tower

Close-up views of the state capital's waterfront and the Rheinturm just before landing.

Best for morning flights to see the Ore Mountains illuminated. During the descent, keep your eyes peeled for the Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund and the dense industrial infrastructure of the Ruhrgebiet. Choose a seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed views of the urban sprawl.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏰

Prague Cityscape

Aerial views of the Vltava River and the historic towers of Prague immediately after departure.

🌲

Thuringian Forest

Expansive views of the dense, dark green forests of the Thüringer Wald in central Germany.

🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

On clear days, the distant high-rise buildings of the financial district are visible to the southwest.

⛪

Cologne Panorama

The famous twin spires of the Cologne Cathedral can often be spotted during the approach from the southeast.

Sit on the left for afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun. Look out for the distinct loop of the Rhine river near Neuss during the final descent into DUS. Clear winter days offer the best visibility of the distant Alps to the far south.
