The River Ljuča is formed by the joining of the Rivers Vruja and Grnčar, downstream from Gusinje, and is the main outlet of the Lake Plav. During its course through the Plav valley, Ljuča flows through an area rich in alluvial soil, ideal for agriculture. The valley of the River Ljuča occupies about 750 hectares, including 300 hectares of wetlands, which became the largest alluvial agricultural complex in Montenegro through land reclamation.
Climatic conditions in the Ljuča valley, with an average annual temperature between 7.2°C and 7.6°C, allow the cultivation of crops that thrive at lower temperatures, while modern agrotechnical methods allow the cultivation of crops that require higher temperatures, such as watermelons, melons, peppers and tomatoes. The favorable combination of daytime temperatures and cold nights contributes to the special aromas and quality of the agricultural products of this area.
Ljuča, as the main stream of Lake Plav, contributes to the stability of the water regime of the basin of Lake Plav and the River Lim, with which it is connected, making it a key river for the hydrological and ecological system of the Plav valley.
