Avala

Avala, Beograd

About

A forested 511 metre hill about 16 km south of the center, a protected natural area and classic day-trip picnic spot. Its slopes hold Ivan Meštrović's Monument to the Unknown Hero and the 205 metre Avala Tower, whose cafe and viewpoint survey the whole city. Springs, marked trails and dense woods make it popular for hiking.
