Map of the main divisions of the Carpathians.

This is a detailed overview of the subdivisions of the Carpathian Mountains. The Carpathians are a "subsystem" of the Alps-Himalaya System and are further divided into "provinces" and "subprovinces". The last level of the division, i.e. the actual mountain ranges and basins, are usually called "units". The main divisions are shown in the map. The numbers refer to: Image File history File links Annotated version of image file http://commons. ... Image File history File links Annotated version of image file http://commons. ... Satellite image of the Carpathians Souvenir from Carpathian region (Poland) The Carpathian Mountains are the eastern wing of the great Central Mountain System of Europe, curving 1500 km (~900 miles) along the borders of Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Montenegro and northern Hungary. ...

1. Outer Western Carpathians
2. Inner Western Carpathians
3. Outer Eastern Carpathians
4. Inner Eastern Carpathians
5. Southern Carpathians
6. Western Romanian Carpathians
7. Transylvanian Plateau
8. Serbian Carpathians

Notes:

• The division is largely (with many exceptions) undisputed at the lowest level (except for the Ukrainian part), but various divisions are given for the higher levels, especially for the last but one level. A geomorphological division has been used as much as the data was available, other new physiogeographic divisions were used in other cases. Where the classification of a higher level "title" is known/sure, it is added at the end of the name in brackets, e.g. "(subprovince)".
• In Romania, it is usual to divide the Eastern Carpathians in Romanian territory into three geographical groups (north, center, south), instead in Outer and Inner Eastern Carpathians. The Romanian approach is shown by adding the following codes to the names of the units:
  • MMB = Carpathians of Maramureş and Bucovina (Munţii Carpaţi ai Maramureşului şi Bucovinei)
  • MMT = Carpathians of Moldavia and Transylvania (Munţii Carpaţi Moldo-Transilvani)
  • MC = Carpathians of the curve (Munţii Carpaţi de Curbură)
• The names are also given in the language of the corresponding country and marked by 2 letter codes for countries:
  • AT=Austria
  • CS=Serbia and Montenegro
  • CZ=Czech Republic
  • HU=Hungary
  • PL=Poland
  • RO=Romania
  • SK=Slovakia
  • UA=Ukraine

Foot notes

(*) The Tatransko-fatranská oblasť and the Podhôrno-magurská oblasť, sometimes together with the units Vtáčnik, Kremnické vrchy, Pohronský Inovec and parts of Považské podolie, are known as "Central Western Carpathians" in some non-geomorphological systems.

(**)The Ukrainians sometimes denote as "Eastern Carpathians" only the part basically on their territory (i.e.to the north of the Prislop Pass), while the Romanians sometimes use to call "Eastern Carpathians" only the other part, which lies on their territory (i.e. from the Ukrainian border or from the Prislop Pass to the south)

(***) Often considered part of Outer Western Carpathians in non-geomorphological systems.
