Vienna Cityscape
Panoramic views of the Austrian capital and the Danube River shortly after takeoff from Schwechat.
Thuringian Forest
The dense, dark green ridges of central Germany's major mountain range visible mid-flight.
Harz Mountains & Brocken
Clear views of the highest peaks in Northern Germany, often snow-capped during winter months.
Hanover Skyline
Visuals of the Lower Saxony capital and the expansive Eilenriede city forest during the descent phase.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Keep an eye out about 40 minutes into the flight for the distinctive Brocken transmitter tower in the Harz mountains. If the wind is from the west at Bremen, you will get a great view of the city center during the final approach.

The Lower Weser
