The territory of Croatia extends over 56.610 km ² in the northwest of the Balkan peninsula. Widely opened on the Adriatic on the West, the country is lined in the North by Slovenia and Hungary, in the East by Serbia and Vojvodine and in the South by Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.

Beyond this mountain range, we find in the North and in the center of the country a climate of moderate continental type(chap). The territory of Croatia is so divided into three natural sets(groups). The North (Slavonia) and the center of the country concentrate the fertile plains of Drave ( Podravina) and Save ( Posavina), separated by mountain massifs of height lower than 1.000 m. The river system mainly consists of Save, tributary of the Danube, 945 km long, among which 562 in Croatia; of Drave, 707 km river, among which 505 km in Croatia, her(it) also throws(casts) itself into the Danube; the Danube, the river of 2.857 km, among which 188 in Croatia. Besides these main streams, the river system consists of about fifteen rivers and rivers containing a portion of at least 100 km in Croatia.
