Goč is a mountain between the Ibar and the West Morava, not far from Kraljevo and Vrnjacka Banja. Its highest peak is Ljukten with 1216 meters. It belongs to the Kopaonik group of mountains within the Dinarides. Goč is one of the most forested mountains in Serbia, overgrown with beech and fir forests, and Goč pine, sessile oak, and noble deciduous trees are also represented. There is also an unusual beech tree, triple fused, which forms a "beech kiss" with its shape. 

The mountain has about 650 plant species, many of which are medicinal. While walking, you can pick forest fruits and medicinal herbs. Goc is known for its springs and mountain rivers that enrich your stay in nature with forests and murmurs. The tourist offer of Goč is further refined by the existence of the artificial lake Selište, which has its charms at any time of the year.

On this tour, we will have the opportunity to experience Goč in the most beautiful autumn colors, go on a hiking tour to the top of Ljukten, and enjoy taking photos of the fairy-tale lake Selište.
