The Nitrianska pahorkatina (German about Neutrauer Hügelland (schaft) ) is part of the Danube Hills , the more mountainous part of the Slovak Danube lowlands .

The core of the hill country extends in the area between the mountains Považský Inovec and Tribeč , in a "triangle" between the cities of Nitra , Hlohovec and Topoľčany , with the eponymous river Nitra flowing on the eastern edge of the landscape. In addition, it protrudes in the north into the areas of Bánovce nad Bebravou and Partizánske , so it borders the Strážovské vrchy mountains in the north . South of the core, the landscape extends into the Nové Zámky area , bounded by the line Nitra- Šurany -Nové Zámky- Sereď- Hlohovec-Nitra. In the south the hill country merges into the Danube plain , in the west, beyond the Waag and south of Hlohovec, lies the Trnavská pahorkatina ( Tyrnauer hill country ).

According to the geomorphological classification of Slovakia , the Nitrianska pahorkatina is divided into seven parts:

  • Zálužianska pahorkatina
  • Bojnianska pahorkatina
  • Bánovská pahorkatina
  • Drieňovské podhorie
  • Tribečské podhorie
  • Nitrianska tabuľa
  • Nitrianske vŕšky

The hill country is strongly agricultural, with the center in Nitra.
