Well, I don't care whether nature has been manipulated by man or not. A tree is a tree. Why would I like a place more just because it is virgin and untouched? Actually I prefer human-made landscapes, as long as they are done well (I am not talking about straightened riverbeds etc., of course).
That whole wilderness aspect has never interested me. I don't like nature, I guess my glasses are just not pink enough for me to look at nature in awe
Those residential streets look nice, remind me of Britain, except houses there tend to be made of brownstones rather than wood, which looks a bit gloomy
LOL I didn't grow up in Texas and didn't even move here till I was in my twenties. Like they say, "I'm not from Texas but I got here as fast as I could."
I was a "military brat" and lived in New Orleans, California, Tennessee, Japan, Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia as a kid.
I liked things about all of those places.
Then I moved to central Texas when I was in my twenties and HATED IT at first - for like a year. But then it began to really grow on me and when I moved to northeast Texas I fell truly, madly and deeply in love with Texas in general, and northeast Texas in particular.
It's great to find the place you fit into in this big, wide world.
But I did love living in Germany. I could be happy living there too. I lived in Aschaffenburg between Frankfurt and Wurzburg and Bavaria and the Franconian regions are my favorite areas of Germany.
Those mountains are remarkably steep. As a wilderness lover I prefer a more accessible type of mountain. Very steep slopes tend to keep people contained together like marbles in a bowl. It is remarkably beautiful, though. As far as central European landscapes and cities, I like the Rhine from Stuttgart to the sea.
Some are, some are not. Most of them are perfect for hiking, climbing and skiing. Anyhow, mountains like you'd find them in Austria are pretty rare in Germany.
if you're from a place that is flat don't go to switzerland my boyfriend is from a flatland and he felt claustrophobic, me I am from a city in a valley in the middle of the Andes in south america, with mountains and volcanoes all around.... I was home!

Shouldn't that be better for wilderness? It'd prevent development up on the slopes. And better scenery for hiking.

I agree with this. As an American, I also prefer the Appalachians over the Rockies. When living in Germany, I preferred the Spessart Mountains and the Odenwald over the Alps. I am not a "flatlander" but I prefer my countryside to be more rolling and with more "gentle" terrain than very steep and dramatic.
I also don't care that much for tons of snow or winter weather or sports so steep slopes mean nothing but unnecessary drama to me.
That being said, I think the views are spectacular.
