Polish term

Sianowska Kraina w Kratkę

Polish to English Art/Literary Tourism & Travel budownictwo mostowe
Jest to nazwa szlaku odnosząca się do ryglowego/szachulcowego budownictwa ( "kratka" odnosi się najpewniej do specyficznego czarno-białego zewnętrznego wyglądu takich konstrukcji):

"The Sianów Land of Timberframing" - nie jest dokładne, z drugiej strony jednak "The Checked/Squared Sianów Land" nie brzmi zbyt dobrze
Proposed translations (English)
4 +1 The Checkered Beauty of Sianow Land
4 +1 The Sianów Land of Half-Timbered Chequers

I was instructed to provide my client with British English version. It's done now, thank you all for your suggestions! I'll let the client choose between the Dariusz Saczuk's and Tomasz Poplawski's versions.
MARTHA MARIA CHMIELOWIEC Jan 19, 2012:
true, true but since the technique was first elaborated in Europe, I think it's best to stick to the original BE name; unless of course the Client wishes for a US version
Darius Saczuk Jan 19, 2012:
USA It is also called "post-and-beam construction" in North America.
MARTHA MARIA CHMIELOWIEC Jan 19, 2012:
nie tylko Niemcy: http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/townhistory/chequers... timber-framing to troche inna technika, jest jeszcze jettying - ale to be on the safe-side - half-timbered , me thinks
Darius Saczuk Jan 19, 2012:
Niemcy na swoich stronach dali jako "The Half-Timbered Houses Route".

The Checkered Beauty of Sianow Land

Jeśli może być nieco mniej dosłownie, a bardziej chwytliwie, to spróbowałbym tak
Note from asker:
Thank you. I though about "The Checkered Sianów Land" but it lacks the catchy ad-like style ;) oh and my misspelling, sorry for that

The Sianów Land of Half-Timbered Chequers

it's hard to pin it down as we don't know if there are any cantelivered beams employed. But, judging by the pics in the pdf, it's rather half-timbered than timber-framed.

and chequers (or checkers) should take care of 'kratka' nicely :)
