German term

Landschaftsfenster

German to English Marketing Tourism & Travel conservation/tourism/scenery/land use
In the same vein, what would you do with "Landschaftsfenster"?

"Der Reiz des Landschaftsparkes liegt in der dort vorkommenden typischen Kleingliederung der Landschaft. So wird das Gebiet in sechs verschiedene Landschaftsfenster gegliedert."

landscape "rooms"

I know that in a garden context we talk about gardens being divided into different rooms, each with their own character, eg. Sissinghurst and Hidcote Manor, but I think it would depend on the scale of the overall area whether you could apply that analogy here -hence the inverted commas!

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I thought this suggestion fitted well here - obviously the area was bigger than a garden, but a Fenster isn't exactly gigantic either! ;-)"

landforms

Hi Hilary.
I've stumbled across this in the past, but can't recall the precise translation I used then. Some googling turned up the following "... the region/area is categorised/subdivided into six distinctive/distinct landforms." HTH
Cheers, Rob.

nature's palette

Naturbesonderheiten einzelner Landschaftsräume: Die Gegend näher bringen, Schönheiten und Zusammenhänge in der Natur und Landschaft bewusst machen. Das geschieht mittels sogenannter Landschaftsfenster, wobei diese nicht direkt als Fenster im herkömmlichen Sinn zu verstehen sind.

Mother Nature has a magical palette from which she has generously splashed our landscape with colors subtle and bombastic. She has adorned our greatest mountains with her large brush and painstakingly decorated the smallest of our flora and fauna. The result is an insatiable appetite to observe and appreciate the marvels of Nature.

landscape gateways

might fit?
Peer comment(s):

agree Laurel Porter (X) : I like this... It's more inviting than segments or other scientific/dry-sounding alternatives.

landscape segments / sections

These might fit as the "Kleingliederung" (small-scale segmentation/structure) is mentioned before.

Perhaps even \"landscape areas\", to avoid the \"dry-sounding\" segments etc.

BTW, \"gateways\" wouldn\'t mean much to me.

landscape parcels / land-cover parcels

Admittedly, "landscape parcel" is an administrative term referring to specific allocations of land, but I think it would fit well here, also with the Kleingliederung.
