A mountain between the sea and rivers<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Majevica is a mountain that remembers the sea. In the distant geological past, it was an island in the Pannonian Sea, together with Fru\u0161ka gora, Cer, Vla\u0161i\u0107 and the mountains of \u0160umadija. As the sea level dropped, it became land, and its rocks bear that record: Eocene sandstones, Miocene sediments of the Pannonian Sea, and igneous ore-bearing rocks of serpentinite and tuffite. Today, Majevica is a hydrographic junction dividing waters toward the Sava, Drina and Spre\u010da \u2014 a mountain at the crossroads of three river basins, facing all sides of northeastern Bosnia.

Minerals and salt at the foothills<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Few mountains in Bosnia and Herzegovina have as much wealth beneath their surface as Majevica. At its foothills lie deposits of rock salt, which gave Tuzla its name (Soli), and coal, which gave Ugljevik its name. There are also quartz, traces of oil, and thermal mineral waters near Priboj and Kiseljak-Jasenica. This wealth shaped the early economic development of the area: mining sparked the energy sector, the chemical industry and a range of light industries that turned this gentle mountain foothill into one of the more economically developed regions in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Forests, wildlife and protected nature<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Majevica is a mountain of forests, although much of its southwestern slopes were long ago turned into orchards, fields and pastures. On the northeastern side, where the soil is less suitable for cultivation, larger beech forest complexes have been preserved, providing habitat for rich wildlife \u2014 roe deer, wild boar, hare, foxes, badgers, stone martens and pheasants. A special feature of the mountain is the Majevica white mallow, a variety of medicinal plant that grows only here and carries the mountain\u2019s name in its Latin botanical name. The protected landscapes of Stara Majevica and Majevi\u010dka Greda are formally under state protection.
