Masurian Lake District

Outer Archipelago

Ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. If landing from the north, the right side often sees the rural Swedish countryside and the upscale suburbs of Uppsala. Look for the distinct 'Alvaret' limestone plain on Öland midway through the flight.
