Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the Rhine River valley and the Vosges Mountains during the final approach, often accompanied by stunning sunset views on evening flights.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Harz Mountains

View the Brocken, the highest peak in Northern Germany, often shrouded in mist or snow.

🌊

The Rhine River

The flight path parallels this iconic waterway as it flows through the Upper Rhine Plain.

🍇

Kaiserstuhl

A small, volcanic mountain range in the Rhine valley famous for its terraced vineyards.

🌄

Vosges Mountains

As the plane enters the EuroAirport approach, the French Vosges range provides a dramatic backdrop to the west.

🏘️

Freiburg im Breisgau

The scenic 'Jewel of the Black Forest' is clearly visible just before the final touchdown sequence.

The right side is ideal for evening departures to enjoy the sunset over the French border. It offers the most consistent views of the Rhine valley. Keep your camera ready during the last 15 minutes of the flight as the terrain transitions from the German plains to the tri-border hills.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏙️

Leipzig Skyline

Shorty after departure, view the historic trade fair city and the massive Monument to the Battle of the Nations.

🌲

Thuringian Forest

A dense, continuous stretch of dark green forest and low mountains passing beneath the wing.

🏰

Nuremberg

The historic Bavarian city with its medieval castle and industrial outskirts is often visible mid-flight.

🏔️

Swabian Jura

Observe the distinctive white limestone escarpments and plateau landscapes of southern Germany.

🇨🇭

Swiss Alps Horizon

On exceptionally clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Bernese Oberland appear on the distant southern horizon during descent.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. During the final descent into BSL, look forward and left to catch a glimpse of the Black Forest's highest peaks, including the Feldberg, especially during winter when covered in snow.
