Popis: The Pannonian Plain is a landscape- and a physico-geographic unit. It encompasses the plain, lowland landscapes of the Pannonian realm. If we follow the Pannonian Plain along the Danube valley, it starts from with Vienna Basin continues downstream till the Iron Gate. The Pannonian Plain (Pannon-alföld / Panonska nizija) can be subdivided in six landscape units. The three main units are: the Vienna Basin (Wiener Becken), the Little Alföld (Kisalföld) and the Alföld. The three smaller units have some kind of connections with the Alföld they are the Inner Somogy (Belső Somogy), the western Drava Plain (Donja Podravina) and the Upper Sava Plain (Donja Posavina). The Pannonian Plain has no synonyms. the terms Pannonian Basin, Pannonian realm, Pannonian Basin System as well as the Carpathian Basin have different meanings and context.
