I cannot find much about the difference between moving 'aufs Land' and 'ins Grüne'? Are these just synonyms or merely near synonyms?
If they are near synonyms, what difference is there?
#'aufs Land' and 'ins Grüne'

auf‘s Land means into the countryside [could be a small village, where there is less population than in the city]
in‘s Grüne (literally into the green) means into the nature [you could refer to parks, forests etc]

Sometimes (rarely, I'd say), "ins Grüne ziehen" is used as a synonym for "auf's Land ziehen", i.e. to move to the country. Otherwise, "ins Grüne" just means "into nature", whether for a picknick or a walk or the view from your window. :)

I see! We had a chapter about moving and housing. I came across both and they seemed fairly similar.
Thank you!
Makes sense.

Yeah, but if you like looking outside, because you can see a garden from your window, you can say something like "Ich schaue gern ins Grüne" or "Ich schaue gern auf's Grüne hinaus" :)

Thank you, that's a bit clearer now.
