The Ovčar-Kablar gorge is in the central part of Serbia, as part of the West Pomoravlje region. It is a dividing point between the high Šumadija region in the north and Dragačevo and Stari Vlah plateau in the south. It is one of the Serbia’s regions that have been in the focus of attention for centuries, owing to its natural values and the memorial heritage of the past. The basic natural characteristics of the gorge are the imposing mountain massifs of Ovčar and Kablar, which gave name to the gorge. The main morphological trait of the gorge are the markedly expressive curves of the Morava river course in the lower part of the valley, which distinguished scientist Jovan Cvijić described as grafted or ‘clenched ‘meanders.
