Within the UK, England has mostly lowland terrain; the highest point is 978 metres above sea level. In Scotland, the main population centres are in the lowlands, which lie to the south and east and, in particular, the central belt between Glasgow and Edinburgh.

ravničarski teren
Plain (flatlands)


Explanation:
In geography, a plain is a flat area. Plains occur as lowlands and at the bottoms of valleys but also on plateaus or uplands at high elevations. In a valley, a plain is enclosed on two sides but in other cases a plain may be delineated by a complete or partial ring of hills, by mountains or cliffs. Where a geological region contains more than one plain, they may be connected by a pass (sometime termed a gap). Plains may have been formed from flowing lava, deposited by water, ice, wind, or formed by erosion by these agents from hills and mountains.

neutral  Daryo: there is no reason why "flat land" should be only found in countryside, could be in a town, could be a desert ... or at high altitude

  -> Treba prevesti ravničarski teren, a tako nešto ne postoji kao deo grada/mesta/naselja, na planinama (high altitude) to su visoravni, a o pustinjama stvarno ne znam šta da vam kažem…;-)Moj prvi predlog je lowland terrain, a drugi-alternativa.
