OCRA
The gateway between the Mediterranean and Central Europe

GEOGRAPHIC AND HISTORIC REPRESENTATION OF RAZDRTO AND THE PIVKA BASIN


The position of the Razdrto pass.

The routes between the north Adriatic and the Apennine peninsula on the west and the Balkans and the central Danubian plains on the east ran across Razdrto pass ever since ancient times. On the other hand Razdrto represents a geographic border between the Mediterranean and the mainland, a border that can be clearly noticed in the changes in vegetation and weather. On a number of occasions in the past this also represented the border between the Central European and Mediterranean cultures.
