Origin
The West Morava originates in the Tašti field, east of the town of Požega, from the Golijska Moravica and Đetinja headstreams. In the field Đetinja receives from the left its main tributary, the Skrapež but less than a kilometer after the confluence, it meets the Golijska Moravica from the south, forming the West Morava. Since the proximity of the confluences of Đetinja, Skrapež and Golijska Moravica, some sources consider all three rivers to be direct headstreams of the West Morava. Following the direction of the course, the Đetinja is a natural headstream of the West Morava, but since Golijska Moravica is 23 km longer, the latter is considered as the main headstream. Measured from the source of the Golijska Moravica, the West Morava is 308 km long while the length of the West Morava proper is 210 km.
