West Frisian Islands
A stunning chain of islands along the Dutch coast with intricate tidal sandbanks.
German Bight
Heavy maritime traffic and the coastline of Lower Saxony near the Elbe estuary.
Polish Lowlands
The distinctive geometric patchwork of agricultural fields in Western Poland.
Vistula River Bends
The long, winding path of Poland's primary river as you descend toward Modlin.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. The Frisian Islands are the highlight; they are most visible if the flight path stays northernly. During the final descent, the Vistula River serves as a perfect landmark for the approach into WMI.
