The region borders the Danube River to the north and has got natural ways of connection with neighbouring Romania and the other countries of the Danube zone. It borders the Republic of Serbia to the west. The water resources on the region's territory have been formed of both surface and subterranean water. The Danube River and the Timok River are the region's natural borders with the Republic of Romania and the Republic of Serbia
The earth relief of Vidin Region varies in altitude from the Danube River to the Balkan Mountains. There are four natural geographical zones within the region: the Danube Lowlands, the Hilly Danube Plain, the Northern Balkan and the Balkan. The Danube Lowlands comprise the waterfront strips at Vidin and at Archar and Orsoya. The Lowlands' altitude varies from about 20 m to 30 m. The Hilly Danube Plain is the place to grow grain crops, sunflower, fodder crops and vegetables. The Northern Balkan's altitude varies from 200 m to 800 m above the sea level. It ranges from Vrushka Chouka to the foot of the Balkan Mountains, the Rabisha Hill and the Belogradchik Crown of Rocks being its most outstanding secluded heights.
