Marketing - Tourism & Travel / disabled persons travelling
German term or phrase: Naturerleben
Just not sure if I understand and if I do then I'm not sure how to resolve this one:

Dazu gehören auch Fortschritte in Richtung barrierefreies Reisen und *Naturerleben* behinderter und sonstiger mobilitäts-eingeschränkter Menschen.

This also includes advancements in the direction of barrier free travel and disabled people and other mobility-impaired persons *experiencing nature.*

Explanation:

Since the other answerer has widened the question to the whole sentence:
\"An essential part of this will be progress towards barrier-free travel and access to Nature for people who are disabled or suffer from other mobility impairment.\"

Thanks for all your help. By the way to Michael, I wouldn't use google as a style guide but it appears that this really is a buzz word for the disabled travel industry (barrier free). Also, thanks much for making me laugh out loud a couple times (your "pet peeve" and something you said on another question about a tax on using Lösungen or something like that).

Experiencing nature


Explanation:
I support your own version, but suggest "progress" for "advancement" and a hyphenation of "barrier-free".

  -> Thanks, Brigitte; in this context, "barrier-free" is a bit of a "buzzword" today...try google for "Barrier-free travel"
neutral  Lancashireman: The key issue here is the ‘general entitlement/opportunity/access’ rather than ‘individual personal fulfilment’

agree  Michael Schubert: Yes! (...except lower-case "nature," pleez.) The use of "erleben" and "Erlebnis" in German is becoming something of a pet peeve of mine. At any rate, this misuse shouldn't be transferred into the English.

  -> Thanks, Michael. I did agonise about the capital 'N' first, of course. OED says both are correct, but I wanted to avoid being told off for not using it!
