Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides an exceptional view of the Vienna city skyline upon departure and offers the most direct views of the Brocken peak and the Harz National Park during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🎡

Vienna Skyline

Clear views of the Danube Tower, St. Stephen's Cathedral, and the Prater if the flight path departs westward.

🌲

Bohemian Forest

The sprawling dark green canopy of the Sumava National Park along the Czech border.

🏰

Prague Horizon

The distant skyline of the 'City of a Hundred Spires' may be visible to the northeast in high visibility.

🏔️

Brocken Peak

The highest point in Northern Germany, often topped with snow or surrounded by iconic mist.

🌳

Harz National Park

Dramatic granite formations and deep ravines as the plane begins its final descent into Hannover.

Sit on the right for the best photographic opportunities of the Harz Mountains. In winter, this side offers the most scenic views of snow-covered peaks. For morning flights, this side will be brilliantly illuminated by the eastern sun.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌲

Vienna Woods

Lush green hills and residential areas surrounding the Austrian capital right after takeoff.

💧

Danube Valley

The winding curves of the Danube as the flight heads northwest towards the German border.

⛰️

Thuringian Forest

Deep valleys and dense spruce forests of the central German highlands.

🏘️

Göttingen

View of the historic university city nestled in the Leine Valley during the approach.

Choose the left side for better lighting during afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun. On exceptionally clear days, look far south shortly after takeoff to catch a glimpse of the distant Alpine peaks.
