misty valley
Haze-filled low ground
A misty valley is a low-lying area between hills or mountains where fog or haze has settled, creating an atmospheric, dreamlike quality.
The phrase appears frequently in nature writing, fantasy literature, and place names, evoking mystery or tranquility: We hiked down into the misty valley at dawn.
