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. | There is a road right next to the airport called "Airportring".

If the winds are in favor of the '''25L/R''' being used, which is the case most of the times, there is one spot in particular where you can take really good photos of the approaching aircraft. Especially on the weekends you will run into quite a few fellow spotters there. Since this spot brings you pretty close to the action you won't be needing a lot of focal length to get good results. 200mm will be enough to cover the aircraft coming in on '''25L'''. However, since you will be standing closer to '''25L''' the right approach will still be kind of far, so to ensure that you can get all the pictures you want you might actually need a 400mm lens. Just a few examples to show the different motives at this spot. | If the winds are in favor of the '''25L/R''' being used, which is the case most of the times, there is one spot in particular where you can take really good photos of the approaching aircraft.
