To the south of Zapadna Morava, and above Vrnjačka Banja rises the mountain Goč. It belongs to the lower mountains with the highest peak Ljukten (1216 m) and is the source of many streams and rivers that flow towards Zapadna Morava and Rasina and give a special charm to the mountain landscape of Goč. Mount Goč, 13 km from Vrnjačka Banja, is the main excursion destination for residents and guests of Vrnjačka Banja. Unspoiled nature, a combination of an ideal climate, clean air and lush vegetation, has a favorable effect on anemia, strengthening immunity and the nervous system, and as such makes an ideal place for walking, hiking, picnicking, and sports tourism.
