How to read this map
The highest point of the Southern Carpathians is Moldoveanu Peak, 2,544 m (8,346 ft) above sea level.
The dashed outline marks the Southern Carpathians as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Bucharest, Belgrade, Cluj-Napoca, Timișoara, Galați, Brașov, Craiova and Ploiești. Labeled countries: Romania 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 Southern Carpathians 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 Southern Carpathians are, not a surveyed boundary.
