Effect • No point in Europe is more than a few hundred miles from the ocean (not counting Russia and the former Soviet Union, which is its own unit). • European countries that are landlocked (no ocean access) • Luxembourg • Switzerland • Austria and Hungary (became landlocked after WWI) • Czech Republic and Slovakia (formerly Czechoslovakia) • Liechtenstein • Serbia, Kosovo and Macedonia (formerly part of Yugoslavia) • Andorra • Microstates: Vatican City and San Marino

  11. Trade and Rivers • Landlocked countries were still able to move goods for trade on Europe’s extensive system of navigable rivers. • The Danube River is about 1800 miles long and is Europe’s second-longest river after the Volga River in Russia • It is navigable for almost its entire length and passes through ten countries, including five of the landlocked ones.

  12. The Northeastern Highlands are not good for farming. • The North European Plain stretches from France to Russia. It is excellent farmland. • The Central Uplands has very thin, rocky soil. • The Alps contains many small valleys that are good for farming.
