Divcibare is located in the central part of the Maljen Mountain in western Serbia, and administratively the resort belongs to the territory of the City of Valjevo.

It is stated that the space proposed for protection is part of a large mountain area and that it is the remnant of the former Great Divcibare Bog (Serbian: Velika Divcibarska Tresava), which today has been reduced to a narrow area in the vicinity of the tourist center.

It is added that from the point of view of the needs and goals to protect nature, the wetlands in Divcibare are important for conservation at the national and international level.

The plan is to protect more than 50 hectares, of which more than half is owned by state and public entities. The study on the protection of this area has been submitted by the Institute of Nature Protection of Serbia.
