Which side of the plane to sit from Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart) to Rostock-Laage Airport (Laage)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is slightly superior due to the iconic views of the Harz Mountains, including the Brocken peak, and the spectacular sight of Schwerin Castle during the descent.

Stuttgart City & TV Tower
Aerial view of the state capital's 'Kessel' and the world's first telecommunications tower shortly after takeoff.
The Brocken
The highest peak in Northern Germany located within the Harz National Park, often shrouded in mist.
Schwerin Castle
A stunning fairytale castle situated on an island in Lake Schwerin, visible during the approach to Laage.
Wismar Bay
Distant views of the Baltic Sea coastline and the historic harbor of Wismar as the plane descends.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy clear views of the Harz Mountains. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the Schwerin Lake district. In winter, the snow-covered peaks of central Germany provide excellent contrast for photography.

Ludwigsburg Palace
One of Germany's largest Baroque estates, clearly visible just north of the Stuttgart metropolitan area.
Magdeburg & Elbe River
Direct views of the historic city skyline and the winding path of one of Central Europe's major rivers.
Lake Müritz
Germany's largest inland lake, offering a mosaic of blue water and green forests within the Mecklenburg Lake District.
Thuringian Forest
A vast expanse of dense evergreen forest spanning the ridgelines of central Germany.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to capture the 'Golden Hour' over the Mecklenburg Lake District. Look out for the Elbe River crossing near Magdeburg, which serves as a major geographical landmark mid-flight. During autumn, the Thuringian Forest provides a vibrant tapestry of colors.
