Geography

The Nerodimka mountain is just a few kilometres north of the Šar Mountains, only split by the Sirinić Valley. Nerodimka forms a continuous range with mountains of Žar planina and Jezerska planina. In the mountain originates the Nerodimka river, a left tributary of the Lepenac. Many small streams originate on the mountain and then flow downwards to meet the Lepenac.
