Potsdam Palaces
View the UNESCO World Heritage palaces and the sprawling Sanssouci Park just after departure.
Harz Mountains
The Brocken, Northern Germany's highest peak, is often visible on the horizon to the northwest.
Taunus Range
The wooded mountain ridges providing a scenic backdrop to the Rhine-Main region.
Rhine-Main Confluence
The dramatic point where the Main River flows into the Rhine near the city of Mainz.
Rheingau Vineyards
Step-like vineyard terraces along the Rhine Valley as the aircraft begins its final descent sequence.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. Watch closely about 20 minutes before arrival for the Rhine River; the sunlight reflecting off the water near Mainz creates a stunning visual contrast against the surrounding vineyards.

Berlin City Center
Aerial views of the TV Tower and the dense urban core of the German capital during the initial climb.
Thuringian Forest
Dense green ridges and the famous Rennsteig hiking trail visible across the central German uplands.
Rhön Biosphere Reserve
Distinctive volcanic peaks known as the 'Land of Open Distances' located in the border triangle.
Frankfurt Skyline
A distant but clear view of Germany's only major skyscraper cluster to the south-west.
Sit on the left for soft morning light during westward transit. This side is better for spotting the dense forests of Thuringia, which look particularly striking when covered in frost or snow during winter months.
