Forest of Bojcin, Natural monument in Surčin, Serbia.
The Forest of Bojcin spreads across 629 hectares between the Sava River and the Jarcina channel, characterized by numerous oak trees and varied plant life. A six-kilometer hiking trail connects key locations including a Lipizzaner stud farm and an ethnic restaurant complex within this area.
The forest provided shelter for soldiers and residents during World War I. It later became a hunting ground for King Alexander in the 1930s.
A summer theater at the forest edge hosts the Bojcin Cultural Summer festival from May through September, featuring poetry readings, theatrical performances, and music events. The natural clearing serves as an outdoor stage that brings together local audiences and performers.
The forest is easily accessible on foot via a marked hiking trail with clear orientation points such as the stud farm and restaurant facilities. Wear comfortable shoes and pay attention to weather conditions, as the path passes through different forest sections.
The protected area is home to 185 plant species and around 165 varieties of mushrooms, including rare types. It also serves as habitat for white-tailed eagles and black storks that can be spotted here.
