Danubian Plain (Bulgaria)

The Danubian Plain (Bulgarian: Дунавска равнина, romanized: Dunavska ravnina) constitutes the northern part of Bulgaria, situated north of the Balkan Mountains and south of the Danube.

The plain has an area of 31,523 square kilometres (12,171 sq mi).

The Danubian Plain is contiguous with the Wallachian Plain (forming the Lower Danubian Plain), but its elevation is slightly higher and the relief is more hilly and rolling, featuring numerous plateaux and river valleys.

The climate is markedly temperate continental with a weak Black Sea influence in the east.

Among the major cities of the region are Varna, Rousse, Pleven, Dobrich, Shumen, Veliko Tarnovo, Vratsa, Vidin, Montana, Silistra, Targovishte, Razgrad, Svishtov and Lom.
