Wrocław Cityscape
Aerial view of the Cathedral Island and the winding Odra River shortly after takeoff from WRO.
Sudetes Mountains
The rugged Karkonosze range and Śnieżka peak are visible to the south along the Polish-Czech border.
Dresden & Elbe Valley
Sweeping views of the Saxon capital's baroque architecture and the Elbe River bends.
Thuringian Forest
A vast, continuous stretch of dark green coniferous forest stretching across central Germany.
Rhine River Bend
The iconic curve of the Rhine River as the aircraft aligns for its final approach into Düsseldorf.
Sit on the left (port) side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh northern sun glare. This side is particularly spectacular in winter when the Sudetes peaks are snow-capped. During the descent, watch for the media harbor (MedienHafen) and the Rhine Tower as you bank toward the runway.

The dense industrial heartland of Germany, characterized by a unique mix of factories, parks, and urban sprawl.
Merkur Spiel-Arena
Düsseldorf's major stadium is often clearly visible just moments before touchdown on the northern approach.
The right (starboard) side is ideal for morning flights to see the landscape illuminated by the rising sun. Keep an eye out for the distinctive open-cast mines in the Lusatian district between the Polish border and Leipzig. When landing toward the west (Runway 23L/R), you'll get a great view of the airport's terminal architecture.
