Mar 31, 2023 · The Dinaric Alps are a mountain range in southern and southeastern Europe, separating the continental Balkan Peninsula from the Adriatic Sea. It is one of the most rugged and extremely mountainous areas of Europe.
The Dinaric Alps extend for approximately 645 kilometres (401 mi) along the western Balkan Peninsula from the Julian Alps of the northeast Italy, downwards to the Šar and Korab massif, where their direction changes.
The Dinaric Alps, or as the locals call them Dinaridi or Dinarsko Gorje, stretch from the Julian Alps in Slovenia to the border between Albania and Montenegro. However, despite their name, the Dinarides are not a division of the European Alps, which are located to the north.
