Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for viewing the Alpine foothills and the prominent peaks of the Northern Limestone Alps during this short cross-country hop.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Vienna City Center

Bird's-eye view of the Ringstrasse and historic districts during the initial climb out of VIE.

🏔️

Schneeberg Massif

The easternmost 2,000-meter peak of the Alps visible against the southern horizon shortly after takeoff.

🌳

Wienerwald

The expansive UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of the Vienna Woods covering the hilly terrain directly below.

⛰️

Ötscher Peak

The striking pyramid-shaped landmark of the Mostviertel region dominates the southern view during mid-flight.

🏰

Schallaburg Castle

A prominent Renaissance castle visible among the rolling hills of the Alpine foreland near Melk.

Choose the left side for optimal views of the Alpine panorama. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting as the sun illuminates the mountains from the west. Keep an eye out for the distinct peak of the Ötscher during mid-flight, as this is the most recognizable landmark on this route.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🌊

Danube River

The silver ribbon of the Danube winding through the Tullnerfeld and toward the scenic Wachau valley.

🍷

Wagram Vineyards

Extensive terraced vineyards and agricultural patterns characteristic of the Lower Austrian wine regions to the north.

💒

Melk Abbey

The iconic yellow Baroque monastery perched on a cliff overlooking the Danube valley, usually visible from high altitude.

🏗️

Linz Industry

Vast industrial landscapes and the Voestalpine complexes visible during the descent into Linz Hörsching.

The right side is ideal for tracking the Danube's course and spotting the famous vineyards of the Wagram and Wachau. During the final approach to LNZ, you will get a clearer view of the Linz city harbor and the Pöstlingberg hill if the aircraft approaches from the east.
