The route then crosses the Alps' lower passes or skirts their northern edge, depending on exact routing. Central Europe shows the Danube River basin and Hungarian plains before reaching the Carpathian foothills near Cluj-Napoca. Most dramatic midpoint feature: the Pyrenees mountain range (roughly 1.5 hours into flight) and the Alps (roughly 2 hours into flight), both visible as major ridge systems on clear days.
