Serbia Physical Map

Description:
This map shows landforms in Serbia.

Serbia's physical geography is characterized by diverse terrain, including fertile plains in the north, limestone ranges and basins in the east, and heavily forested mountains in the southeast. The northern region is part of the Pannonian Plain, a fertile lowland that covers approximately one-quarter of the country.

The country's mountainous regions include several prominent ranges. The highest point is Midžor Peak at 2,169 meters (7,116 feet), located in the Stara Planina mountains along the Bulgarian border. Other significant mountain ranges include the Kopaonik Mountains, Tara Mountain, and Zlatibor. The Dinaric Alps extend through western Serbia, featuring limestone formations and numerous caves.

Serbia's river system is dominated by the Danube River, which flows for 587 kilometers through the country, forming part of its border with Croatia and Romania. Other major rivers include the Sava, which joins the Danube in Belgrade, the Drina along the Bosnian border, and the Morava River system that runs through central Serbia.

The country's landscape includes several distinct geographical regions: the Vojvodina plains in the north, the Šumadija hills in the central region, and the mountainous terrain of southern Serbia. Natural lakes are relatively rare in Serbia, but there are numerous artificial lakes and reservoirs, with Đerdap Lake being the largest. The terrain also features karst formations, particularly in eastern Serbia, with numerous caves and underground rivers.
