Search flights from ZTH to MUC
Pindus Mountain Range
Fly over the 'Spine of Greece,' featuring deep canyons and dense forests shortly after leaving Zakynthos.
Albanian Alps
Also known as the Accursed Mountains, these offer some of the most jagged and wild terrain in Europe.
Bay of Kotor
A stunning, winding bay in Montenegro that looks like a Nordic fjord surrounded by high limestone cliffs.
Hohe Tauern Range
The main chain of the Austrian Alps, including views of glaciers and the Grossglockner peak.
Chiemsee
Bavaria's largest lake, featuring Herrenchiemsee Palace on an island, visible just before landing.
This is the 'mountain side.' For the best views of the Alps, check if your flight departs in the afternoon, as the sun will be behind you, lighting up the peaks perfectly. Winter flights are especially rewarding on this side when the entire Balkan interior is covered in snow.

Kefalonia & Ithaca
Immediately after takeoff, view the rugged coastlines and turquoise bays of the neighboring Ionian Islands.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Gaze down at the hundreds of tiny, white-pebbled islands scattered along the Croatian coastline.
Istrian Peninsula
The distinctive triangular landmass jutting into the Adriatic marks the transition toward the Alps.
Julian Alps
Witness the sharp limestone peaks of Slovenia, including Mount Triglav, the country's highest point.
Starnberger See
A large, deep-blue lake south of Munich often visible during the final descent into the airport.
Choose a seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. This side is particularly scenic during mid-morning flights as the sun illuminates the Adriatic coastline without causing direct glare. Keep a lookout for the Croatian city of Zadar, which is a key waypoint.
