Abstract
The data provides a first overview, e.g. for the planning process regarding major powerlines as part of the German 'Energiewende', the national transformation policy towards a sustainable energy production, or as a measure for the meaning and potential of a region for nature-based tourism. The result maps clearly show that the selected eight parameters are suitable for the depiction of the most relevant features of an attractive landscape. Hereby, the coastal and alpine regions, as well as the low mountain regions and lakelands can be clearly distinguished from regions with intensive settlements and agricultural use. An evaluation of the provision of cultural ecosystem services for landscape-oriented recreation becomes hereby possible.
