A part of the Pannonian plain, Little Hungarian Plain is a tectonic basin situated between the Carpathians on the north, the Bakony-Vertes Hills in the south, the Gerecse Hills in the east, and the Leitha Mountains and the foothills of the Alps in the west. Roughly cut in half by the Danube, the 8,000 km2 plain covers northwestern Hungary, south-western Slovakia (Podunajska nizina - Danubian Lowland) and eastern Austria. - AsNotedIn
