This is a
list of mountains ( ) in Croatia
.
The highest mountains in Croatia belong to the
Dinarides range that is sometimes also called
Dinaric Alps, of which Dinara is the highest mountain in Croatia.
Together with the easternmost parts of the
Alps, these mountains span most of the country, and
their
orogenic activity started in the
Paleozoic with the
Variscan orogeny and continued in the
Mesozoic and
Cenozoic with the
Alpine
orogeny.
The mountains in the northeastern part of the country, in the
Pannonian plain, are considerably
older than the rest as their orogeny happened in the
Paleozoic.
Mountains in the list are ordered by height.
