Which side of the plane to sit from Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart) to Heringsdorf Airport (Heringsdorf)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Thuringian Forest, distant glimpses of Berlin, and the most dramatic approach over the Szczecin Lagoon into Usedom.
Thuringian Forest
A deep green expanse of mountains and forests stretching across central Germany.
Berlin Skyline
Often visible as a dense urban area to the east, including the iconic Fernsehturm TV Tower.
Szczecin Lagoon
A massive coastal lagoon shared with Poland, featuring intricate wetlands and islands.
Usedom Imperial Spas
Get a bird's eye view of the white sandy beaches and historic architecture of Ahlbeck and Bansin.
Karnin Lift Bridge
Look for the skeletal remains of the historic railway bridge standing in the Peenestrom during landing.
This is the preferred side for the final approach into HDF. During the late afternoon, the sun illuminates the Baltic coastline beautifully. Keep your camera ready as you cross the coastline near the Polish border.
Würzburg and the Main
View the winding Main River and the Marienberg Fortress shortly after departure.
Harz Mountains
On clear days, the silhouette of the Brocken peak is visible on the northwestern horizon.
Magdeburg Elbe Crossing
Spot the distinctive water bridge where the Mittelland Canal crosses the Elbe river.
Greifswalder Bodden
As you descend, view the shallow, sparkling waters of the Baltic Sea bays to the north.
Sit here during morning flights to keep the sun behind you. Look for the distinctive white cliffs of Rügen in the far distance during the final descent phase if the visibility is high.
