| 95 Košutnjak extends over an area of 330 hectares, at an elevation of 250metres above sea-level. Once a closed royal hunting grounds, it was supposedly named after red deer. Today, unfortunately, there are nomore deer, but among its canopies one can identify about 30 species of bird. Protected as amonument of nature and a favourite area of leisure and relaxation for Belgraders, it also houses the‘Pionirski Grad’ [Pioneer City] sports and recreation centre, with pitches and swimming pools, the FilmCity studios, a ski slope etc. At the foot of the hill is the legendary Hajduk Fountain, dating back to the 18th century, which is one of the oldest with natural spring water. It was near here that Prince Mihailo Obrenović was assassinated in 1868, giving Košutnjak additional importance as an historical site. KOŠUTNJAK KOŠUTNJAK Košutnjak se prostire na površini od 330 hektara, na nadmorskoj visini od 250 metara. Nekad je bio zatvoreno dvorsko lovište, navodno je i ime dobio po košutama. Danas, nažalost, nema košuta, ali se među njegovim krošnjama može prepoznati oko 30 vrsta ptica. Zaštićen je kao spomenik prirode i omiljeno je izletište Beograđana, a u njemu su sportsko-rekreativni centar Pionirski grad, sa terenima i bazenima, Filmski grad, ski-staza... U podnožju se nalazi legendarna Hajdučka česma iz 18. veka, jedna od najstarijih sa izvorskom vodom. Nedaleko od nje je 1868. ubijen knez Mihailo Obrenović, što je Košutnjak dodatno učinilo istorijski važnim mestom.
