Natural Monument Gorica Hill is located at the very centre of Podgorica. This forest-park is a very popular picnic area and is a true paradise for recreationists. Gorica Hill hosts a war memorial monument to the ‘Fallen Partisans’, an Adventure park, hiking, biking and trim trails, as well as a Mediterranean Garden where visitors can get familiar with a significant number of endemic species. There is a magnificent view of the right side of the river Moraca, as well as of the Millennium Bridge. Gorica is attractive throughout the year, but especially in hot summer days, when the Podgorica citizens are in desperate need of shade and clean air.
In recent years, Gorica is mostly used as a place where people acquire physical condition doing various sports-recreational and professional disciplines. Staying in nature itself is healing, especially in the forest like pine trees in Gorica, and it has been proven that pines release phytocidal chemicals that purify (sterilize) the air. This reflects the health significance of Gorica for the human body. The hill is also a natural shield against the north wind in winter.
