German term or phrase: wald- und wasserreiche Natur

Heute bietet kaum eine andere Stadt eine annähernd hohe Lebens- und Aufenthaltsqualität wie Potsdam mit seinen weitreichenden Sichtachsen über idyllische Seen und Flüsse sowie auf Gärten und Schlösser. Legendär sind seine wald- und wasserreiche Natur und die quirlig lebendige Innenstadt.

7 mins confidence:

natural environment with rich greenery and water

Explanation:
Not a literal translation, but since the topic is a brochure for new apartments, I assume the above phrase wants to emphasize the natural environemnt where there are rich greenery and water such as rivers, ponds or even fountains which blend into the city.

the woods and lakes of its surroundings

Explanation:
Would be one of many possibilities

Potsdam lies just to the south-west of Berlin in an idyllic landscape of woods and lakes. The old royal capital of the Hohenzollern dynasty expresses the Prussian spirit, combining strict discipline with a pronounced fondness for French culture and style. Today, Potsdam as a whole is a work of art made up of landscaped gardens, parks and palaces.
