Other Spotting Locations

Runway 05/23

On the east side of the airport, on the southern half of the runway, there is an unpaved path along the fence. There is also a slight elevation, making it easy to take photos over the fence. At this spot you are very close to the runway, which is why you'll only need a focal length of up to 150mm. Since this spot is about halfway up the runway, it is suitable for any wind directions for both takeoffs and landings. Here are a few examples.

• 

  Czech Airlines ATR 42-500

• 

  HOP! ATR 72-500

• 

  Volotea Boeing 717-200

To get to this location from the terminal you will have to drive to Entzheim. Take the D221 and D400 to Entzheim and take the exit to Entzheim.

(Coordinates 48.536682, 7.635999) From the parking spot you have to walk the last 400 meters. Follow the unpaved road to the airport fence.
