Blick vs. Aussicht vs. Ausblick
The German words Aussicht, Blick, and Ausblick all translate to the English word view, but they are used in slightly different contexts depending on whether you are referring to a sweeping scenic landscape, a directed line of sight, or a specific framed vantage point.
Blick
The word Blick primarily translates to a look or gaze, and in the context of a physical view, it describes a directed line of sight towards a specific object or scene, such as what you see directly from a hotel room window.

(We booked a room with a view of the sea.)

(From here you have a direct view of the historic cathedral.)

(His desk is by the window and offers a nice view of the busy street.)
Aussicht
The word Aussicht refers to a wide, expansive, and panoramic scenic view that you typically experience from an elevated vantage point, like a mountaintop, a tall tower, or a high-rise building.

Ausblick
The word Ausblick is very similar to Aussicht, but it specifically emphasizes the physical act of looking outward from an inside space or gazing out into the distance from a specific, often framed, spot.

Summary
To summarize, you should use Blick when talking about a specific, directed line of sight towards something, choose Aussicht to describe a broad, sweeping panorama from a high elevation, and opt for Ausblick when highlighting the experience of looking outward into the distance.
