Prague City Center
Aerial views of the Vltava River, Charles Bridge, and the 'City of a Hundred Spires' during initial climb.
Dresden Skyline
Clear views of the Frauenkirche and the historic Baroque architecture of the Saxon capital.
Elbe River Meanders
The flight path closely follows this major European waterway, showing dramatic bends and river traffic.
Port of Hamburg
The massive container terminals and industrial cranes of one of the world's busiest ports.
Alster Lakes
The Binnenalster and Außenalster lakes provide a stunning blue centerpiece to the Hamburg city view.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for this route. For the best photography of Dresden and the Elbe, choose a morning flight when the sun is behind you. If landing on Runway 33, you will get a spectacular panoramic view of the Hamburg city center and the Elbe Philharmonic Hall.

Křivoklátsko Forest
Dense green biosphere reserve located just west of Prague, visible shortly after takeoff.
Ore Mountains
The Erzgebirge range forms the natural border between the Czech Republic and Germany.
Lüneburg Heath
Vast expanses of heathland and nature parks that turn vibrant purple during late summer.
Finkenwerder Airport
The Airbus factory and its private runway can often be spotted on the final approach into Hamburg.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun. This side is also excellent for spotting the sprawling Airbus assembly plants if the aircraft approaches Hamburg Airport from the southwest.
