Search flights from SKG to NUE
Pindus Mountains
The 'spine of Greece' offers rugged limestone peaks and deep gorges shortly after departure.
Lake Ohrid
One of Europe's deepest and oldest lakes, visible on the border of North Macedonia and Albania.
Dinaric Alps
Dramatic karst landscapes extending across Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Hohe Tauern Range
Breathtaking views of Austria's highest peaks, including the Grossglockner, during the Alpine crossing.
Chiemsee
Known as the 'Bavarian Sea', this large lake is often visible as the plane enters German airspace.
For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the scale of the Alps. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you or high above, illuminating the mountain faces without glare. During winter, the snow-covered peaks of the Hohe Tauern are the undisputed highlight of the journey.

Thessaloniki Cityscape
A stunning view of the White Tower and the Thermaic Gulf immediately after takeoff from SKG.
Skopje
The capital of North Macedonia is often visible nestled in its valley along the Vardar river.
Belgrade & Danube
The confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers at the Serbian capital is a major navigation landmark.
Regensburg
A UNESCO World Heritage city in Bavaria, visible as the flight begins its descent into Nuremberg.
Walhalla Memorial
The neo-classical hall of fame overlooking the Danube near Regensburg is distinct from high altitudes.
The right side is superior for urban geography enthusiasts. Look out for the distinct 'S' curves of the Danube River through Serbia and Austria. If flying in the early morning, be prepared for significant sun glare; window shades might be necessary until the plane turns northwest.
