The route makes a round trip from Čarapićev Brest to the summit of Avala and back.
From the top of Avala, wide panoramas open across the Šumadija hills, the Danube plain, and the direction of Belgrade. Because of its dominant position above the surrounding landscape, Avala has long been regarded as a strategic lookout point controlling the southern approaches to the capital.
After reaching the summit, the trail returns through the forest to Čarapićev Brest, completing the round trip.
Author’s recommendation
Hotel Avala, the modernist mountain hotel set just below the memorial plateau.
Monument of the Unknown Hero, the granite mausoleum commanding the broad summit terrace.
Avala Tower, the slender broadcast tower whose viewing deck opens the full sweep of Belgrade and the surrounding hills.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
