Parks and Nature Walks in and around Belgrade, 8 of 12: Avala Mountain



Avala is a forested 511 m mountain on the city's southeastern edge, protected since 1859 and a long-standing picnic spot for Belgrade families. On top stands the rebuilt Avala TV Tower, with a visitor complex at its base that has sports fields, an outdoor gym and a climbing rock.
Nearby is Ivan Meštrović's Monument to the Unknown Hero, and the Sakinac hiking trail winds up through the woods.
