Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the Harz Mountains during the cruise phase and a stunning view of the winding Rhine River and the Palatinate vineyards during the descent into Baden-Baden.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Harz Mountains

The Brocken, the highest peak in Northern Germany, is visible to the northwest during the first half of the flight.

🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

On clear days, the high-rise buildings of Germany's financial hub are visible in the distance to the west.

🌊

The Rhine River

The majestic river comes into full view during the descent, marking the border between Germany and France.

🍇

Palatinate Vineyards

A patchwork of lush vineyards stretching across the hills of the 'Weinstraße' region just before landing.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights as the sun sets over the French Vosges mountains across the Rhine. Keep your camera ready during the last 15 minutes of the flight when the plane mirrors the course of the Rhine River for spectacular valley views.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Berlin Suburbs

Aerial views of the Havel river and the Grunewald forest immediately after takeoff from the Berlin area.

🌲

Thuringian Forest

A vast, continuous stretch of dark green ridges and peaks passing beneath the aircraft mid-flight.

🏰

Wartburg Castle

The historic medieval castle near Eisenach can be spotted perched on a 410-meter precipice.

⛰️

Northern Black Forest

Dramatic silhouettes of the rising mountains as the plane turns for its final approach into FKB.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side is better for spotting the dense greenery of the German midlands. During winter, the Thuringian Forest is often covered in hoarfrost, creating a striking white-on-green contrast.
