The Romanian Plain (Romanian:
Câmpia Română) is located in southern
Romania and the easternmost tip of
Serbia, where it is known as the
Wallachian Plain (
Serbian:
Vlaška nizija/ Влашка низија). Part of the
historical region of
Wallachia, it is bordered by the
Danube River in the east, south and west, and by the
Getic Plateau in the north.
Bucharest, the capital of Romania, is located in the central part of the Romanian Plain. It is contiguous to the south with the
Danubian Plain (
Bulgarian:
Дунавска равнина), in
Bulgaria. This area is also sometimes referred to as the Danubian Plain
(Câmpia Dunării)
in Romanian, though this designation is not specific, because the
Danube flows through a number of plains along its course, such as the
Hungarian Plain (which is called Danubian Plain in Slovakia and Serbia)
as well as the Bavarian Lowland, also called Danubian plain.
In Romania, the plain is divided into five subdivisions and the
Danube Valley: In Romania, the plain is divided into five subdivisions
