Kalemegdan is the most famous Belgrade park overlooking the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers.
Kalemegdan Park is situated at the 60-metre-high cliff that once was the town field within the Belgrade Fortress. The high position offers some extraordinary views at the junction of the rivers Sava and Danube, as well as a landing spot for numerous birds.
The most common residents of the park are Haussperling, Kohlmeise, and pigeons. The scattered conifers host numerous Girlitz in the spring and summer, just to be replaced with Wintergoldhähnchen and Sommergoldhähnchen in the late autumn and winter. Höckerschwan, Stockente, Kormoran, and Zwergscharbe are beneath the walls at the riverbank, while Mauersegler and Alpensegler are flying above. Hausrotschwanz and Elster are often spotted on the old walls of the fortress. Steinkauz finds its home in the holes of old buildings around the park.
Kalemegdan Park is most commonly entered from the city center and Knez Mihailova street, but there are many entrances from all sides. Click P on one of the parking places nearby for directions.
