Berlin Skyline
Panoramic views of the TV Tower, Reichstag, and Tiergarten shortly after a westward takeoff.
Elbe River & Magdeburg
The historic city of Magdeburg and its cathedral situated on the banks of the winding Elbe.
Hannover Maschsee
The distinct man-made lake and the expansive New Town Hall in the center of Hannover.
Teutoburg Forest
The long, narrow ridge of hills famous for its historical Roman-Germanic battles.
Port of Antwerp
One of Europe's largest shipping hubs and the Scheldt river winding toward the North Sea.
The right side is essential for seeing Berlin's center if the wind dictates a westward departure. During the evening, you will witness the sunset over the North Sea horizon. Keep an eye out for the unique 'polder' landscape of the Netherlands as you cross the border into Belgium.

Dahme-Heideseen
Dense pine forests and interconnected lakes immediately south of Berlin-Schönefeld.
Harz Mountains
The Brocken peak and the northernmost mountain range in Germany visible on the horizon.
Ruhr Metropolis
The dense industrial sprawl and urban centers of Dortmund, Bochum, and Essen.
Cologne Cathedral
On clear days, the twin spires and the Rhine river can be spotted to the southwest.
Namur & Meuse Valley
The scenic river valleys and fortresses of the Walloon region as you enter Belgian airspace.
Sit on the left for the best sunlight during morning flights (westbound). Look out for the massive open-cast mines in the Rhineland, which look like lunar landscapes from 30,000 feet. In winter, the Harz mountains are often snow-capped, providing a sharp contrast to the surrounding plains.
