Geography of Serbia

The Geography of Serbia is rich and varied. Vojvodina is located on the central Panonian plain and borders Coratia, Hungary, and Romainia. Its fertile field produce the finest quality wheat in the world maiking it the agricultural heartland of Serbia. Vojvodina has a host of rivers which include the Danube, Tisa, Sava, Begej, Tamis, Karas, Zlatica, Nera, Bosut, Krivaja, Cik, Mostonga, and Plazovic Rivers. Vojvodina has three canals (the Begej, Jegricka, and Jarnica canals) and five major lakes (the Palicko, Ludosko, Ledinacko, Rusanda, and Obedska lakes). Four major mountains and hills cover areas of Vojvodina and they are Fruska Gora, Titelski Breg, Vrasacki Breg, and Zagajicka Brda.

The Geography of Central Serbia is quite different. Central Serbia is located in the Balkan region and parts of it are located in the Pannonian Plain. Central Serbia is bordered by Bosnia, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, FYROM, Bulgaria, Romainia, and Hungary. The regions closer to Vojvodnia have a fertile and flat environment with a thriving agriculture industry. The rest of central Serbia consists primarily of foothills and mid range mountains. Cetral Serbia's major mountains are Tara, Divcibare, Zlatibor, Kopaonik, Brezovica, and Fruska Gora. The highest peak in Central Serbia is Midzor on Stara Planina (2,169 m).
