Croatia is a European country occupying an area of 56,594 km2(21,851 sq mi). As observed on the physical map of Croatia, despite its relatively small size, the landscape is considerably diverse.
It is made up of fertile and mostly flat plains in the north, and low mountains and highlands along the coast.
The Dinaric Alps and a few smaller mountain ranges (Velebit and Velika Kapela) slice through the country, with the highest point rising to 6,005 ft. (1,831m). The highest point has been marked on the map by a yellow upright triangle.
Along the Dalmatian coast, as well as on most of Croatia’s offshore islands, the land is hilly, rocky and steep.
Natural water sources are numerous, and the country’s biggest lake, Lake Vrana, extends over 12 sq. miles (30 sq. km). However, the Plitvice lakes are the most famous and are composed of a group of 16 different small lakes connected by waterfalls.
Europe’s second-largest river, the Danube, forms the far northeastern border with Serbia. Other major rivers include the Drava, Krka and Save.
