Croatia
is located between South-Central Europe and Middle Europe. Its shape
resembles that of a crescent or a horseshoe, which flanks its
neighbours Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. To the
north lie Slovenia and Hungary; Italy lies across the Adriatic Sea.
Its mainland territory is split in two non-contiguous parts by the
short coastline of Bosnia and Herzegovina around Neum.
Its terrain is diverse, including:
* plains, lakes and rolling hills in the continental north and
northeast (Central Croatia and Slavonia, part of the Pannonian Basin);
* densely wooded mountains in Lika and Gorski Kotar, part of the
Dinaric Alps;
* rocky coastlines on the Adriatic Sea (Istria, Northern Seacoast
and Dalmatia).
Phytogeographically, Croatia belongs to the Boreal Kingdom and is
shared between the Central European and Illyrian provinces of the
Circumboreal Region and the Adriatic province of the Mediterranean
Region. According to the WWF, the territory of Croatia can be
subdivided into three ecoregions: the Pannonian mixed forests,
Dinaric Mountains mixed forests and Illyrian deciduous forests.
The country is famous for its many national parks. Croatia has a
mixture of climates. In the north and east it is continental,
Mediterranean along the coast and a semi-highland and highland
climate in the south-central region. Istra has a temperate climate,
while the Palagruža archipelago is home to a subtropical climate.
