Avala, Mountain in Voždovac, Serbia
The Avala mountain rises 511 meters above sea level, featuring dense forests with over 600 plant species and numerous hiking paths through its terrain.
Serbian Prince Miloš Obrenović established protection for Avala in 1859, making it one of the earliest preserved natural areas in the country.
The Unknown Hero Monument, constructed between 1934 and 1938 with black Jablanica marble, stands at the summit to commemorate fallen soldiers of multiple wars.
Visitors can reach the mountain peak through several marked trails, with designated picnic areas and observation points scattered across the protected landscape.
The Avala Tower, rebuilt in 2010 after its destruction in 1999, stands as the tallest structure in the Balkans, offering panoramic views of Belgrade and Šumadija.
