Gorica Hill
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.
Brdo Ljubović
Brdo Ljubović (101 m above sea level) is a hum located near the center of Podgorica, ie a conical limestone hill overgrown with pines and wild species of grass and medicinal plants. Like Gorica, it represents a forest park and a picnic area in Podgorica. It is surrounded on the west, south and east by the settlement of Zabjelo, and on the north by the settlement of Stara Varos. The significance of the hill has changed throughout history. The hill was forested in the 20th century, as was the hill Gorica. The picnic area has hiking and biking trails, furnished furniture and green areas, and a modern road has been breached, which includes the most important points for walking, sports and recreation. It is attractive to visitors throughout the year. The road is not accessible by motor vehicles. Although the humps are conical in shape, each of them takes a certain direction, and Ljubović extends in a northwest-southeast direction. In the relief, despite the good afforestation, there are clearly limestone blocks on the east and north sides of the hill, where limestone erosion has taken the most momentum, and there is a smaller cave on the north side of the hill.
