# Changing The Map On Your DayZ Server

Information on how to change the map on your DayZ Server

## Summary

Switching your DayZ server map to **Livonia** can give your players a refreshing new experience. Unlike Chernarus, Livonia features dense forests, rugged terrain, numerous lakes, and the flowing Biela River. But be warned alongside players and infected, you’ll also encounter wildlife such as deer, wolves, and bears.

## Changing the Map on Your DayZ Server

You can change your server map by modifying the `serverDZ.cfg` file.

1.  Log in to the ChipHead Control Panel.
