Search flights from SPU to DTM
Kornati Archipelago
Dozens of karst islands scattered in the turquoise Adriatic Sea shortly after takeoff.
Julian Alps
Dramatic limestone peaks including Mount Triglav as the flight crosses into Slovenia.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' marking the border between Austria, Switzerland, and Germany.
Black Forest
The dense, dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald region in Southwest Germany.
Rhine Valley
The winding path of the Rhine river as the aircraft begins its descent into Westphalia.
Sit on the left for the best sunlight during morning flights to illuminate the Croatian coastline. Keep your camera ready within the first 15 minutes of departure to capture the intricate island patterns of the Adriatic. In winter, the snow-covered peaks of the Julian Alps are a major highlight on this side.

Split & Kozjak
Views of the Roman-built city and the rugged coastal mountains immediately after lift-off.
Velebit Range
The largest mountain range in Croatia, known for its sharp white limestone peaks.
Hohe Tauern
High alpine views of Austria's glaciers and the Grossglockner massif.
Frankfurt Skyline
On clear days, the high-rise 'Mainhattan' skyline is visible in the distance during the cruise phase.
Ruhr Metropolis
The dense industrial and urban sprawl of the Ruhr area during the final approach to DTM.
Choose the right side if you prefer views of the higher Central Alps and the industrial heritage sites of the Ruhr area during landing. If flying in the late afternoon, this side will have less glare, making it easier to spot the Dinaric Alps early in the flight.
