Science - Geography | | German term or phrase: Endmoränengebiet/-landschaft | Nach wie vor das Verzeichnis von Golfplätzen:
Nur wenige Autominuten von Schwerin entfernt, bietet die Anlage auf naturbelassenem, hügeligem Endmoränengebiet von allen Abschlägen herrlich wechselnde Panoramablicke auf Seen und Wälder.
Der Golfplatz liegt in einem Endmoränen-Gebiet zwischen Teutoburger Wald und Wiehengebirge in reizvoller ländlicher Umgebung. Die Topographie ist bewegt und abwechslungsreich gestaltet.
Der 27-Loch-Golfplatz liegt eingebettet in die typisch holsteinische Endmoränenlandschaft mit Blick über den großen Binnensee und die Ostsee.
Danke für jegliche Hilfe! |

| terminal moraine region
Explanation:
Endmoräne – terminal moraine
http://www.woxikon.com/france/wort/Endmor%C3%A4ne.php
The federal state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, with its regional capital of Schwerin, lies in the north-east of Germany and features the largest contiguous area of waterways in Central Europe. The terminal moraine of the last ice age runs across Mecklenburg, from north-west to south-east, from Wismar to the Feldberg lakes and into the eastern Brandenburg region. This charming landscape consists of broad meadows and fields, as well as extensive areas of forests and lakes.

| drumlin landscape
Explanation:
Going back a long time to O'level geography, I seem to recall that the landscapes left by glacial moraine is called a "drumlin field" - where the glacial boulders were abandoned over the wide valley floor and subsequently coverd by grass and vegetation over the years, forming a characteristic bumpy sort of landscape.
Drumlin landscape seems quite acceptable; see:

| morainic belt landscape
Explanation:
My good old "Geowissenschaften" dictionary, purchased in the days of the DDR, says end (terminal, border, stadial, sumarginal) moraine for "Endmoräne". Here I'd prefer "border" and in the full expression (with -gebiet/-landschaft) "belt" because they just sound more sophisticated in connection with a golf course and its public.
