This word is pretty much only used metaphorically right? Its not for actuall views over something?
I’m here as I encountered the phrase “die Übersicht verlieren”
You can find it for actual views, too, I’d say, though I would probably use “Überblick”.
– Vom Hügel aus hat Napoleon eine gute Übersicht/einen guten Überblick über das Feld.
Both these words have an abstract side to them even here though. Like… viewing data points.
If you just stand on a hill looking at landscape, I think “Blick” or “Sicht” are more common.
