Ślęża Mountain
A solitary, ancient peak rising abruptly from the Lower Silesian plains, visible shortly after departing WRO.
Karkonosze Range
The majestic Giant Mountains, featuring Śnieżka peak and the dramatic glacial cirques near the Czech border.
Ore Mountains
The dense, dark forests of the Erzgebirge ridge, which serves as a natural border between Saxony and Bohemia.
Thuringian Forest
A continuous 150km mountain ridge known for its deep valleys and the historic Rennsteig high-altitude trail.
Spessart Nature Park
One of Germany's largest areas of mixed deciduous forest, appearing as a vast green carpet before the descent into Frankfurt.
Sit on the left for the best mountain views. Morning flights are particularly scenic as the sun hits the southern slopes of the mountains. Ensure you are seated away from the wing to fully capture the vertical scale of the Sudetes ridge.

Erfurt & Thuringian Basin
The patchwork fields of the fertile basin surrounding the medieval towers of Erfurt's cathedral.
Frankfurt Skyline
During the final approach from the east, the 'Mainhattan' financial district skyscrapers appear to the north.
FRA Airport Perimeter
An excellent view of the massive Terminal 3 construction site and the landing patterns of one of Europe's busiest hubs.
