Belezma National Park

Belezma National Park is a protected mountain area in eastern Algeria where cedar, pine, and fir forests grow among rocky peaks and valleys. The landscape combines forests with exposed stone formations that create varied terrain for exploration.

The area became a protected national park in 1984 to safeguard mountain forests and wildlife. Since then it has served as a key conservation area in North Africa.

Local communities maintain traditional practices within designated areas of the park, reflecting the connection between nature and regional heritage.

Walking trails allow visitors to explore the mountainous landscape and watch birds throughout the park. Spring and autumn offer the most comfortable weather for spending time outdoors.

The park serves as a major stopping point for migratory birds traveling between Africa and Europe with the seasons. Some bird species pass through twice yearly during their migration routes.
