About Romania

Romania is in southeast Europe and is slightly modester than Oregon. Did you know that the Carpathian Mountains divide Romania's upper half from north to south and connect close the center of the country with the Transylvanian Alps, running east and west. North and west of these ranges lies the Transylvanian plateau, and to the south and east are and have always been the plains of Moldavia and Walachia. Within its last 190 mi (306 km), the Danube River flows through Romania only. It enters the Black Sea in northern Dobruja, just south of the border with Ukraine.

Transylvania (a belt of Alpine massifs and forests) and Moldavia compose the northern half of the country, that is divided down the middle by the north-south svisit of the Carpathian Mountains. South of the east-west line of the Carpathians lies the flat Danube plain of Walachia with the capital Bucharest, its border with

Bulgaria being defined by the course of the Danube. Romania's coastline is known to be aextensive the Black Sea, incorporating the port of Constanta and the Danube Delta.
