Croatia is located in Southeastern Europe . The local terrain is quite diverse given the size of the country. There are low mountains and highlands near the Adriatic coastline and islands, flat plains along the Hungarian border. Part of Croatia is a barren, rocky region lying in the Dinaric Alps. The Zagorje region north of the capital, Zagreb, is a land of rolling hills, and the fertile agricultural region of the Pannonian Plain is bordered by the Drava, Danube, and Sava Rivers in the east. Croatia‘s strategic location gives it control over most land routes from Western Europe to the Aegean Sea and the Turkish Straits. The country’s natural resources include petroleum, some coal,calcium, bauxite, low-grade iron ore, natural asphalt, silica, mica, clays, salt and hydropower. Over one-third of Croatia is forested.
