German term or phrase: Spannungsbogen
In a small text about tourism:
...versprechen einen Urlaub im Spannungsbogen zwischen Tradition und Moderne."
Any good ideas on "Spannungsbogen"??
Thanks in advance.

betwixt, stretching between, spanning, straddling, etc.
Explanation:
"...promise a vacation ("a holiday" in the UK) betwixt tradition and modernity"

or "spanning tradition and modernity"

or "stretching between tradition and modernity"

etc.

Getting out of this mold, you can also say:

"where you can enjoy both tradition and modernity"

or "where you can find tradition and modernity side by side"

etc.
