Beschrijving
Stepin Gaj is a forested area located in the southern part of Belgrade. Dirt paths go through the forest, which makes a route you can hike and watch birds on, while admiring nature around you. There are stunning views of the surrounding hills and forests. It is a rarely visited area, because of the lack of attention from birders, and the size and relative untidiness of the forest, unlike Topčider Park, Zvezdara Forest, and Košutnjak forest.
There are many species of forest birds that you can see here, like Zwarte Specht, Bosuil, Boomkruiper, Taigaboomkruiper, Groene Specht, Kleine Bonte Specht and Boomklever. There are other common species, such as Goudhaan, Vuurgoudhaan, Grote Bonte Specht, Pimpelmees, Sijs, Vink and Appelvink. There is likely a Houtsnip population, but it isn't yet confirmed. Though there are multiple reports of the bird.

NeeExtra info
Many unmarked paths and trails are going all through the forest, so be careful that you don't get lost if you don't know the area well. Also, there are not many people at all, so it is best to go with other people if you plan on going deep in the forest.
