Descripción
Zvezdara Forest (Zvezdarska šuma in Serbian) is fantastic in the early mornings before dog walkers and joggers are up. With 137 hectares, out of which 21 hectare is a more open park area, it is one of the largest city parks in Belgrade.
Forest planting began in 1933, with the most massive forestation occurring from 1948 to 1950 when tens of thousands of seedlings were planted. The most common tree species in the forest include black locust, black poplar, Canadian poplar, sycamore maple, pedunculate oak, black pine and Scots pine. In 2009 an average tree age was estimated at 50 years.
Zvezdara Forest is inhabited by almost 90 bird species, from Cárabo Común, Pico Mediano, Pico Sirio, Pito Real and Picamaderos Negro to Oropéndola Europea, Carbonero Palustre, Zarcero Icterino, Curruca Zarcerilla, Ruiseñor Común, Papamoscas Cerrojillo, Serín Verdecillo, etc. This park is especially good during migration (warblers, flycatchers): Papamoscas Gris , Mosquitero Silbador , Papamoscas Acollarado , Reyezuelo Listado; and in winter (various finches): Pinzón Real , Jilguero Lúgano , Zorzal Charlo , Zorzal Alirrojo , Picogordo Común , Camachuelo Común , Reyezuelo Sencillo...

Accesso
To get there, take bus line 65 to the “Zvezdara Forest” stop. Zoom in on the map and click on the "P" (parking) sign for driving directions.
There are a myriad of walking paths, so I marked instead the best entrance or exit points ("P").
