Search flights from ZRH to BRE
Zurich City
Immediate views of Zurich's urban center and the northern tip of Lake Zurich during the initial climb.
The Black Forest
Sprawling views of Germany's most famous forested mountain range located in the southwest.
The Rhine Valley
The flight path often follows the trajectory of the Rhine, offering views of the river's winding path.
Frankfurt Skyline
The distinctive cluster of high-rise buildings in Germany's financial capital is often visible mid-flight.
Secure a window seat on the left for morning flights to minimize window reflections while photographing the Black Forest. Keep an eye out for the Rhine River's winding path roughly 20-30 minutes after departure. In winter months, the contrast between the snowy hills and the dark forest canopy is particularly striking.

Lake Constance
One of Europe's largest lakes, shared by three countries, visible shortly after departure.
Swabian Jura
A long, curved range of limestone hills that provides a textured landscape to the east.
North German Plain
The landscape flattens significantly as you approach Bremen, showing a patchwork of green fields.
Weser River
The prominent river winding through Bremen, which often serves as a guide for the final approach.
The right side is essential for seeing Lake Constance; look for it within the first 10 minutes of flight. As the aircraft descends into Bremen, the right side provides a clear view of the Weser river's industrial port areas. This side also catches the soft light of the rising sun if you are on an early morning flight.
