Natural conditions


   The Surdulica landscape includes  various morphological forms. There are eruptive elements, which are the traces of old vulcanic eruptions. Thus Vardenik, parts of Cemernik, Besna Kobila and Crni Vrh in their composition include which are 30 meters long and about 10 meter wide. West of Surdulica there is the aluvial plain of Vrla. The ground of Surdulica, and the southeastern parts of its fields form a spacious flood plain. To the east of the flood plain the mountain slopes rise. Average temperature in Jauary is 1.8 C and in July 20.3 C. While the submoutainous climate with cold winters and fresh summers is represented in Vlasinsko-krajiski region, the climate of Surdulica is mildly continental. The total amount of precipitation in a year ranges from 700 to 1000 mm. The most of the precipitation falls during the summer and autumn and the least, during summer and winter.
     The area of Surdulica agricultural district consists of three types of ground: muddy ground  in the aluvial plain, suitable for cultures requiring moisture, sand ground on the flood plain, suitable for orchards and meadows and mountain ground covered
 with pastures and deciduous forests.

 
       The Wealth of the Nature

    The community of Surdulica has various natural resources which are insufficiently exploited, but they are basic conditions for increasing the economic power and more dynamic development of the community. Among the important resources are: mineral resources, argicultural ground, forests, and hydrologic resources which alltogether are suitable for development of tourism.
   On the area of the community various elements of metal resources were detected. Thermal waters were also found in Surdulica area (above Curkovica village). The most important of the ores are the ores of molibden at mining field of Mackatica. Ores have also been found at Curkovica, Kucisnjak and Kijevac. The ore reserves are estimated to around 50 million tons with average content of 0,08% Mo, although not all possibilities of discovering balance reserves are exausted. There are also known, but insufficiently explored, layers of quartzite and quartz in Mačkatica area, and according to quality estimates this raw materials could be used to produce ferosilicium. The appearances of hydrothermal lime are registered, but not explored enough in localities at Gornji and Donji Topli Do and at Stre�er. It is considered that this raw material of high quality could be used to produce optical glass which justifies further exploration. When raw materials that are used to produce construction materials are considered, there are known layers of technical stone. They are in connection with grandior massive of Surdulica (Vrla river, Prisoje, Bitvrđa and Romanovska river) which was suitable for the construction of plant for production of asphalt concrete layer. This plant produces shaped stones, cubes, panels and various stone furnishings.

   The agricultural ground is large and significant resource. It covers the area of 34.638 Ha and covers 55,2 % of the total area of the community. Agricultural ground is divided into pastures (62,4 %) and meadows (24 %). Fields and gardens cover 10,5 % of agricultural ground. Therefore, Surdulica's agricultural ground  is most suitable for cattle and sheep farming.

   On the community area there is total of 20.415 Ha of forests and forest grounds, which is about 45% of total area. The wildlife is very rich: wild boar, rabbit, wolf, fox, mink..
