Julian Alps
Impressive views of Mount Triglav and the jagged limestone peaks of western Slovenia.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' creates a stunning blue expanse where Germany, Austria, and Switzerland meet.

The right side is essential for the Sarajevo departure to see the city center. During the descent phase, watch closely for Lake Constance (Bodensee); if the flight path is clear, it is the scenic highlight of the journey. Best in the afternoon for optimal lighting on the northern side of the Alps.
