Landscape

Hi,
Imagine you are walking around the quiet, mountain village of Terfens, Austria. As you enjoy the views of the beautiful landscape, something odd catches your eye.

Can I use 'scenery' instead of 'landscape' in this context?
Is there any difference in meaning between landscape and scenery if 'scenery' is fine here?

Thanks.

Well, no, actually. That does not sound quite right to me. My ear wants simply "enjoy the view" or "enjoy the view out over the beautiful landscape." "The view of the landscape" sounds alien to me.

The landscape is all of the country round about, and the
