relaxed hills?

When people say "relaxed" hills, does this "relaxed" mean the slope of the hill is gentle or the scenery of the hill can relax people's stress and pressure?

For example, "FROM THE arable river lands to the south, the approach to Montefiore appears a sequence of relaxed hills."

It would mean that the hills themselves are low and gentle in slope.

In the example sentence, "relaxed" is used as adjective. I searched in the dictionary and found no such adjective. The adjective for 'relax' is 'relaxable'.

Is it really correct to say 'relaxed hill'?

Sorry, Kumar, but "relaxed" is indeed the adjective of choice, and I have never heard the word "relaxable" in my life. Check that dictionary again, or get a new one!

I would not personally used "relaxed" in front of "hill" myself -- gentle or low or rolling would be more usual choices.
