The Ovčar-Kablar Gorge is in western Serbia, halfway between the towns of Čačak 17 kilometers on the east and Požega on the west, some 155 kilometers south-west of the capital Belgrade. The gorge is a narrow of the West Morava`s composite valley, a continuation of the Požega Depression on the west, while itself continuous into the Čačak-Kraljevo Depression on the east. The gorge is carved between the 985 meters high mountain of Ovčar on the south and 889 meters high Kablar on the north, thus gaining its name. The river meanders through the gorge for 15 kilometers.
