Quick Summary

The Šumadija hills are a region in central Serbia, forming the core of the medieval Serbian state. These hills are situated between the Dinaric Alps to the west and the Carpathian and Rhodope mountain systems to the east. The Šumadija region's name literally translates to "forested area," indicating its historical landscape, though much of it has since been cleared for cultivation. The hills themselves range in elevation from 2,000 to 3,500 feet (600 to 1,100 meters).12
