Cyrillic : Лугомир) is a river in centralSerbia , a 57 km-long right tributary to theVelika Morava river.Origin
The Lugomir originates from two headstreams, the "Dulenska reka" and the "Županjevačka reka".
The shorter headstream of Županjevačka reka (Cyrillic: "Жупањевачка река") originates from the mountain of
Gledićke planine in southernŠumadija region of central Serbia. Its spring is just some 500 m away from the source of Lugomir's another headstream, the Dulenska reka. The river first flows to the east, next to the villages of Nadrlje, Županjevac, Dragovo and Belušić. At this point, the Županjevačka reka reaches theJuhor mountain, turns north along the Juhor's western slopes, and after the village of Beočić meets the Dulenska reka.The longer headstream of Dulenska reka (37,5 km; Cyrillic: "Дуленска река") also originates from the mountain of
Gledićke planine at an altitude of 793 m ("Gomila" peak), but flows northward. At the village of Dulene the river isdam med by the temporary (but still functioning) 7-meter high filled dam in 1964. The artificial lake Dulene (Dulensko jezero; Cyrillic: "Дуленско језеро") is created, with an altitude of 435 m, a tunnel was dug through the Gledićke planine and pipeline with pumps set to take water out into another artificial lake ofGrošnica which is used for the supplying of the city ofKragujevac with water.The river turns east, receives the "Pčelička reka" from the left at the village of Velike Pčelice and flows through the small town and municipal seat of
Rekovac where it turns south. At the villages of Tečić, Vukmanovac and Loćika, the Dulenska reka formes a small arc and turns northward in the narrow valley on the western slopes of the Juhor mountain, where it meets the Županjevačka reka at the village of Dragoševac.Lugomir
