Geography and location edit

Nikšić municipality has the largest land area of any municipality in Montenegro (covering 15% of Montenegro), and includes 129 settlements. It was also the largest municipality by land area in Socialist Yugoslavia. The town of Nikšić is situated in north-central Montenegro. It is located at the centre of the spacious Nikšić Field (Nikšićko polje), a karst plain[1] with an area of 48 km2, and an elevation of 640 m AMSL. The plain is surrounded by inhospitable rocky mountainous terrain, a typical landscape of western Montenegro. The town itself is located at the foot of the Trebjesa Hill.

The Zeta River originates in the Nikšić Field, and flows near the town of Nikšić, before it becomes a subterranean river south of the town. The river caused frequent flooding of the plain, until the construction of the Perućica Hydroelectric Power Plant in 1960. The construction of the power plant resulted in the creation of three large artificial lakes near the town — the Krupac, Slano and Vrtac Lakes.
