Banjica Forest, Natural monument in Voždovac district, Belgrade, Serbia.
The forest extends over 40 hectares with paths leading through dense vegetation, providing shelter to 68 bird species and numerous mammals.
Between 1948 and 1950, this area transformed from vegetable gardens into a forest as part of Belgrade's green belt development initiative.
The forest contains a cobblestone path that functions as a memorial to the 24,000 individuals held at the former Banjica concentration camp.
Multiple entrances connect to public transportation routes, with benches and information tables placed along the 2.3-kilometer walking trails.
The area received its current name, Byford's Forest, in recognition of Timothy John Byford, a British ornithologist who protected local bird populations.
