Neckar Valley
Scenic views of the river winding through steep hills, dotted with historic castles and the city of Ludwigsburg.
Frankfurt Skyline
The best view of 'Mainhattan', Germany's only major skyscraper cluster, usually visible about 20 minutes into the flight.
Sauerland Highlands
A sea of green forests and reservoirs like the Biggesee, particularly stunning during the autumn foliage change.
Münster Old Town
As the plane descends into FMO, look for the St. Paulus Cathedral and the historic gabled houses of the Prinzipalmarkt.
The right side is ideal for morning flights for the best lighting over the Taunus and Sauerland mountains. The highlight is the Frankfurt skyline; depending on the wind, the plane may track directly east of the city, offering a perfect side-on view of the towers.

Shortly after takeoff, view the Schlossplatz, the TV Tower, and the distinctive bowl-shaped valley of the city.
Kraichgau Region
Known as the 'Baden Tuscany', look for the patchwork of vineyards and sun-drenched hillsides.
The Rhine Valley
Distant views of the winding Rhine River and the industrial landscapes around Ludwigshafen and Mannheim.
Ruhr Metropolis
On the horizon to the west, the massive urban sprawl and industrial infrastructure of the Ruhr area are visible.
Sit on the left for afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun. Keep an eye out for the distinct bend in the Rhine River near Mainz. In winter, the lack of foliage makes the industrial architecture of the Rhine-Neckar region more visible.
