Geography of Serbia
Northern Serbia, the autonomous province of Vojvodina, is part of the flat and fertile Pannonian Plain, crossed by the Danube and Tisza and covered in grain fields. South of the Sava and Danube rivers, the land rises into hills and mountains. The Dinaric Alps cover the west and southwest, and the Carpathian and Balkan Mountains reach into the east, where the Danube cuts through the Iron Gates gorge on the Romanian border. Serbia lists Velika Rudoka in the Šar Mountains, at 2,658 m (8,720 ft), as its highest point; the peak lies on the border between Kosovo and North Macedonia.
The Danube flows through Serbia for a long stretch and meets the Sava at Belgrade, the capital. The Great Morava, formed by the West and South Morava, runs north through the central region of Šumadija to the Danube. Serbia has few natural lakes, among them Lake Palić in the north, but several reservoirs. National parks such as Tara, Kopaonik and Đerdap protect forests, mountains and gorges. The climate is continental, with hot summers and cold winters, and more snow in the mountains.
Fun facts
- Belgrade, the capital, stands where the Sava River flows into the Danube.
- Đavolja Varoš, or Devil's Town, in southern Serbia is a group of about 200 tall earth pillars topped with stone caps.
- Vojvodina is home to many ethnic groups, and Hungarian, Slovak and Romanian are among its regional official languages.
Flag of Serbia
The flag of Serbia has three equal horizontal stripes of red, blue and white, from top to bottom. The state flag adds the lesser coat of arms, placed slightly toward the hoist: a white double-headed eagle on a red shield, with a smaller red shield on its chest showing a white cross, all topped by a crown.
