ZADNRN

Which side of the plane to sit from Zadar Airport (Zadar) to Weeze Airport (Weeze)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular view of the rugged Velebit mountain range immediately after takeoff, followed by a more direct perspective of the highest peaks in the Austrian Alps, including the Grossglockner.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
⛰️

Velebit Mountains

The dramatic karst peaks of Croatia's longest mountain range rising sharply from the coastline.

❄️

Hohe Tauern National Park

Direct views of the highest peaks in Austria, often snow-capped year-round, including the Grossglockner.

🌲

Bavarian Forest

Expansive green landscapes and rolling hills as the flight transitions from the Alps into Central Germany.

🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

The 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers are often visible in the distance as the plane heads toward the Lower Rhine.

The right side is superior for mountain lovers; the Velebit range and the Eastern Alps appear more prominently here. Try to book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the mountains perfectly without reflection.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Kornati & Zadar Archipelago

Dozens of white limestone islands scattered in the deep blue Adriatic Sea just after departure.

🇮🇹

Venetian Lagoon

On clear days, the distant outline of Venice and its surrounding lagoon can be spotted across the sea.

💧

Lake Constance (Bodensee)

A massive lake where Germany, Austria, and Switzerland meet, usually visible mid-flight.

🏰

Middle Rhine Valley

The UNESCO-listed gorge featuring steep vineyards and numerous medieval castles near the descent.

Sit on the left for better views of the Croatian islands if the flight departs toward the south. During evening flights, this side will experience the sunset over the horizon, which is stunning but can cause glare.
