A massive three-country border lake visible shortly after departure from Zurich.

Belarusian Taiga
Vast stretches of deep green forests and winding river systems as you traverse Eastern Europe.

The left side is best for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your eyes peeled for the distinct shoreline of Lake Constance approximately 10 minutes after takeoff. In winter, this side offers a more consistent view of the snow-covered plains of the Baltics and Russia.
