Tropical Islands
The world's largest self-supporting hall, a former zeppelin hangar, located south of Berlin.
Berlin TV Tower
The iconic Fernsehturm and the dense urban sprawl of the German capital.

Lush green landscapes and small villages immediately after departing Zurich.
Black Forest
The dense, dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald region in Southwest Germany.
Rhine River
Aerial view of the winding Rhine as it flows north toward the industrial heartland.
