Descrizione
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 Allocco, Picchio rosso mezzano, Picchio rosso di Siria, Picchio verde and Picchio nero to Rigogolo, Cincia bigia, Canapino maggiore, Bigiarella, Usignolo, Balia nera, Verzellino, etc. This park is especially good during migration (warblers, flycatchers): Pigliamosche , Luì verde , Balia dal collare , Fiorrancino; and in winter (various finches): Peppola , Lucherino , Tordela , Tordo sassello , Frosone , Ciuffolotto , Regolo...
