This region embraces almost every type of Hungarian landscape. On the banks of the Danube, Dráva and the Mura, which flow on the eastern and southern frontier of the region, there are plains similar to the Great Hungarian Plain. Rolling hills are the most characteristic elements of the gentle Pannonian landscape. They create the typical Transdanubian panorama with their gentle slopes covered with forests and broken up with valleys. The two mountain “islands” of the region, the Mecsek and the mountain of Villány, are favourite tourist destinations as they preserve protected geological and botanical rarities.
