It is Sunday at around lunchtime \u2013 time to go for a walk \u2013 time to go to the visitor\u2019s deck of Tegel Airport. At Tegel Airport guests can observe aeroplanes for hours from the visitor\u2019s deck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The respective approach lanes have always been amongst our favourite destinations when visiting airports. There is a certain fascination we have with landing or starting planes that zoom past us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are fortunate to live close to Tegel Airport in Berlin. Far away enough to not have to endure constant noise (even though that depends on the direction of the wind) but close enough to get there reasonably quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of their approach lanes is over Spandau and Haselhorst. In Tegel Forest (Tegeler Forst) one can position oneself directly beneath the landing planes and watch them descend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visitor\u2019s deck in Tegel is a true highlight for so-called \u201cplanespotters\u201d. They have a great view of the take-off and landing runways from here and can see almost the entire waiting area for the planes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We tried to convert an almost 20-minute long clip into a miniature effect video. It didn\u2019t turn out too shabby for our very first try!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
