Germany's coasts and the Rhine - From Tutow to St Gallen Altenrhein
Germany's coasts and the Rhine
Germany’s coasts and the Rhine is the first in a series of three bush trips that celebrates the beauty, grandeur, and history of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, together known as DACH (Deutschland, Austria, Confederation Helvetia). This route explores the country’s Baltic and North Sea coastlines and then strikes south, following the Rhine river corridor to the border of Switzerland at Lake Constance.
The journey weaves a path that visits some of Germany’s most renowned and spectacular sights, both natural and human made. Pilots will visit Rügen, Germany’s largest island, the Black Forest, and several cities teeming with history and culture, including Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, and Heidelberg. Many of the locations are noteworthy in the history of aviation.
The trip was carefully tailored for the CubCrafters NXCub to maximize both flight experience and breathtaking sights throughout this diverse journey and the two that follow.
