The country of Bosnia and Herzegovina is still divided geographically into a northern region of Bosnia and a southern region of Herzegovina. The country is bound on the north and west by Croatia and on the east and south by the republic of Serbia and Montenegro.
Bosnia is a mountainous country, where the extensions of the Dinaric Alps, bordering Bosnia in the west, pass through the western and southern parts of the country. The highest peak is Mount Maglic, measuring 7,831 ft, along the border with Serbia and Montenegro. The northern part of Bosnia is made up of mainly forests, while the southern part has fertile soil. The country's principal rivers include the Bosna, the Sava, which flows along the northern frontier, and the Sava's tributaries, the Una, Drina, and Vrbas. Only a few rivers, notably the Neretva, flow toward the Adriatic Sea, where Bosnia has 20 km of coastline.
