Depending on the departure vector from TXL, you may catch views of the Fernsehturm and the dense urban sprawl of northern Berlin.
Rügen Chalk Cliffs
The stark white 'Königsstuhl' cliffs of Jasmund National Park visible as you cross the German coastline into the Baltic.
Stockholm Archipelago
A breathtaking mosaic of nearly 30,000 islands and islets stretching out from the Swedish capital into the sea.

The right side is essential for maritime enthusiasts. For morning flights, be aware that the sun will be on this side, potentially causing glare; however, the views of the Stockholm archipelago and the High Coast (approx. 15-20 minutes before landing) are unparalleled. Look for the High Coast Bridge, one of Sweden's longest suspension bridges.
