Western Romanian Carpathians

The Western Romanian Carpathians with the subunits

(3) Banat Mountains

As a geomorphological term, the Western Romanian Carpathians (also Romanian Western Carpathians ) are part of the Carpathian Mountains . In Romania this area is called Carpații Occidentali (Western Carpathians). In the other Carpathian countries, however, the western Carpathians denotes the north-western part of the Carpathian Arc (located in Slovakia , Hungary and Poland ).

The Western Romanian Carpathians consist of

• the Apuseni Mountains (also Transylvanian Western Carpathians ),
• the Poiana-Ruscă Mountains and
• the Banat Mountains .

They are almost exclusively in Romania; only the Vršac Mountains, which are part of the Banat Mountains , are on Serbian territory.
