VIELUX

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior viewing experience with distant views of the Alps and prominent Bavarian lakes.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Northern Limestone Alps

Continuous panoramic views of the jagged peaks extending along the southern horizon for much of the cruise.

🌊

Chiemsee

Bavaria's largest lake, featuring the Herrenchiemsee palace island, clearly visible south of the flight path.

🏙️

Munich Skyline

Spot the distinct red roofs of the city and the Allianz Arena stadium while flying over Bavaria.

🌲

Black Forest

Dense, rolling evergreen landscapes of southwestern Germany appearing shortly before the final descent.

🏰

Hohenzollern Castle

A fairytale fortress perched on a hill, occasionally visible on clear days in the Swabian Jura.

Best viewed during morning flights for well-lit mountain peaks to the south. Sit behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Bavarian lakes and the Alpine range. In winter, the snow-capped peaks are particularly striking.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌳

Vienna Woods

Immediate views of the forested hills surrounding Vienna right after takeoff from Schwechat.

🛶

Danube River

Follow the winding blue ribbon of the Danube as it passes through the scenic Wachau valley.

🏰

Regensburg

Observe the medieval UNESCO World Heritage city center where the Regen and Danube rivers meet.

🏙️

Stuttgart Basin

The city layout is uniquely tucked into a bowl-shaped valley surrounded by steep vineyards.

⛰️

Hunsrück Mountains

Rugged, forested ridges that define the landscape as you cross the Rhine toward Luxembourg.

Ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Rhine valley. On the final approach into LUX, look for the deep valleys of the Alzette and Pétrusse rivers if the plane is landing from the east. Sit forward of the wing to see the river confluences clearly.
