Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic High Tatras and the northern mountain ranges of Germany, typically benefiting from better lighting conditions for photography on westbound flights.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

High Tatras

The highest range of the Carpathian Mountains, featuring jagged granite peaks along the Slovak-Polish border.

⛰️

Krkonoše Mountains

The Giant Mountains of the Sudetes range, marking the border between the Czech Republic and Poland.

🏘️

Leipzig/Halle Region

Clear views of the urban expansion and the modern logistics hubs of Eastern Germany.

🌳

Harz National Park

The northernmost mountain range in Germany, often featuring the mist-shrouded Brocken peak.

🛤️

Teutoburg Forest

The historic long forested ridge that serves as a landmark during the final descent into Westphalia.

The right side is highly recommended for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. Look out roughly 45 minutes into the flight for the High Tatras. If the sky is clear, the contrast between the northern plains and the central German mountains is spectacular from this side. Check the flight path on your screen for the 'Brocken' peak in the Harz mountains.

Left Side Highlights

⛰️

Apuseni Mountains

Scenic views of the Western Romanian Carpathians with their unique karst plateaus and deep valleys shortly after takeoff.

🏙️

Budapest & The Danube

A stunning aerial perspective of the Hungarian capital and the iconic bend of the Danube river as it flows south.

🏰

Southern Prague

Glimpses of the outskirts of the Czech capital and the rolling hills of Central Bohemia.

🌲

Thuringian Forest

Dense evergreen forests and ridge walks covering the mountainous heart of central Germany.

🏭

The Ruhr Valley

The transition into the dense urban and industrial landscape that defines the Dortmund metropolitan region.

Sit on the left if you are flying during an evening flight to catch the sunset over the German landscape. This side also provides the best views of the Hungarian plains and the southern outskirts of major European cities. Keep your window shade open during the first 30 minutes for the best Carpathian views.
