How to read this map
The highest point of the Dinaric Alps is Jezercë, 2,694 m (8,839 ft) above sea level. The range is about 645 km (401 mi) long. It extends across Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, Montenegro, Albania and Kosovo.
The dashed outline marks the Dinaric Alps as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Rome, Naples, Sofia, Belgrade, Tirana, Zagreb, Sarajevo and Bari. Labeled countries: Hungary and Serbia.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of the Dinaric Alps come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where the Dinaric Alps are, not a surveyed boundary.
