Blumenwiesen und Wildkrautfluren waren eine Zierde unserer Landschaft und haben berühmte Maler zu Meisterwerken inspiriert.
I'm calling Blumenwiesen wildflower meadows, but can't think of a suitable translation for Wildkrautfluren. Corridors of wild herbs? I don't want to say "weeds".

neutral  opolt: In scientific terms, this is absolutely correct; but in this case they're talking more about the visual aspect, so "stretches" seems more adequate.
