Biesbosch Delta
Intricate network of rivers and wetlands south of Rotterdam visible during departure.

Erzgebirge

The right side is the best choice for potential views of Prague's historic center. In winter, the Thuringian Forest is often snow-capped, providing a stunning contrast. Note that afternoon flights may experience significant sun glare on this side, making photography difficult.
