Dinaric Alps
Stunning aerial views of the karst landscape and rugged limestone peaks of central Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Prenj Massif
Often called the Bosnian Himalayas, this range features sharp, dramatic ridges that are particularly beautiful when snow-capped.
Adriatic Horizon
On high-visibility days, you can spot the distant Adriatic coastline and the silhouettes of the Dalmatian islands to the southwest.
Gorski Kotar
Fly over the 'Green Heart of Croatia,' a densely forested mountainous region separating the coast from the Pannonian basin.
Ljubljana Marshes
The unique wetland ecosystem of Ljubljansko Barje provides a geometric patchwork of green and brown just before touchdown.
To avoid harsh direct sunlight when flying northwest, choose the left side for morning flights. The winter months offer the most spectacular scenery as the Bosnian mountains are heavily snow-blanketed. Look out for the Velebit range as you cross into Croatia.

Kamnik-Savinja Alps
During the final descent into LJU, these jagged Slovenian peaks dominate the northern horizon.
