===Viewing Platform next to rwy 18===
===Viewing Platform next to rwy 18 (approach 07)===
Right next to '''rwy 18''' (south departure) there is a concrete platform for viewing purposes. However there is a fence between you and the runway, and you will need a small ladder to shoot over it. From there you can also see the '''07L/R''' approach but you will need some focal length to take adequate pictures, since it is kind of far.

From there you can also see the '''07L/R''' approach. For an A321 on 07R you need around 180mm, for an A330 around 110mm. For 07L approach you need around 240mm for a 747...


There is a road right next to the airport called "Airportring". Take that from the Terminal towards the west, which is where '''rwy 18''' is located. The road will make a left turn and shortly after another left turn. Right in the middle of that second left turn there is a parking lot on the right where you can park. From there you can walk to the platform. It is just a 2-3 minute walk from there.
