Flensburg
SIGHTSEEING FLIGHT OVER FJORD AND COAST
During the sightseeing flight, you can see the Flensburg Fjord from a special perspective – from the water and from the air.
From the height, coastlines, fjords, transitions between land and water and the structure of the region become recognizable in their context.
Depending on the chosen flight time, the sightseeing flight takes you over the fjord, along the coast to the Schlei or on the long route far out to the North Frisian coast.
A flight that places the landscape between city, fjord, coast and sea in a larger space.

Sightseeing flight
The flight
Depending on the chosen flight time, the sightseeing flight takes you over the fjord, along the coast to the Schlei or to the North Frisian Islands - from the water to the air and back.
The take-off run begins on the water. The aircraft turns into the wind and picks up speed.
As the speed increases, the aircraft lifts out of the water until the wing carries and the fjord remains below you.
From the water to the air
From the air, the structure of the landscape becomes recognizable in all its vastness – fjord, coastlines, water surfaces and the transitions between land and sea.
Depending on the chosen flight time, the sightseeing flight takes you along the fjord, over the coast to the Schlei or on the long route far out towards the North Sea coast.
The perspective from the air shows the region in a tranquillity and overview that cannot be experienced from the ground.
The landing takes place on the water again – a transition back to the movement of the water surface.
The region
FLENSBURG FJORD AND COASTAL LANDSCAPE
The Flensburg Fjord combines the city, coast and open water areas in a landscape that is particularly clear from the air.
From a height, you can see how shorelines, bays, fjords and adjacent land areas connect with each other and merge into the vast coastal areas of Schleswig-Holstein.
Depending on the chosen flight time, this perspective extends from the fjord to the coast and far out into the open water landscapes of the north.
Course of training
The process on the water
Before the flight, there is a short briefing on the water in which the most important procedures are explained.
The aircraft then moves from the jetty over the water surface to the take-off position. The take-off does not take place from a fixed runway, but along an open water surface, depending on the wind and conditions.
As the speed increases, the aircraft lifts out of the water and goes into a circular flight. After landing on the water, it is maneuvered back to the jetty.
The procedure on the water depends on wind and conditions and can change slightly in individual cases.
Airplane
The seaplane
The sightseeing flight is operated with a Cessna 172P Amphibian which is specially equipped for operation on water.
The aircraft is equipped with Wipaire 2350 floats, which enable take-offs and landings on both water surfaces and hard runways.
The aircraft is powered by a 180 hp engine, which enables a smooth and stable flight over the coastal landscape.
The design allows a good all-round view, so that the fjord, shorelines and water surfaces are clearly visible from the air.
Airlines
Safety and operation
- The flights are operated by Baltic Seaplane GmbH as a licensed airline.
- Operation is based on a valid operating license (AOC) and is subject to European aviation regulations (EASA).
