⭐ Core Definition: Wallachian Plain

The Romanian Plain (Romanian: Câmpia Română) is located in southern Romania and the easternmost tip of Serbia, where it is known as the Wallachian Plain (Serbian: Влашка низија, romanizedVlaška nizija). It is part of the larger Eurasian Steppe. It is located in the historical region of Wallachia, and bordered by the Danube River in the east, south, and west and by the Getic Plateau in the north. Bucharest, the capital of Romania, is located in the central part of the Romanian Plain. It is contiguous to the south with the Danubian Plain (Bulgarian: Дунавска равнина, romanizedDunavska ravnina) in Bulgaria. The Romanian Plain is also sometimes referred to as the Danubian Plain (Câmpia Dunării) in the Romanian language, though this designation is not specific, because the Danube flows through a number of plains along its course, including the Hungarian Plain (which is called the Danubian Plain in Slovakia and Serbia), as well as the Bavarian Lowland, which is also sometimes called the Danubian Plain.
