Carpathian Basin

The Carpathian Basin is a large, fertile lowland in Central Europe, primarily covering parts of Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, and Ukraine. It is enclosed by mountain ranges, including the Carpathian Mountains, creating a natural basin. The region has rich soils and a favorable climate, making it vital for agriculture, especially grain and wine production. Historically, it has been a crossroads of various cultures and peoples, influencing its diverse heritage. Its strategic location has also made it important for trade, migration, and political history in Central Europe.
