Stari Košutnjak (Serbian Cyrillic: Стари Кошутњак) is a neighborhood located in Rakovica, municipality of the city of Belgrade. It is bordered by the neighborhoods of Rakovica municipality Kanarevo brdo and Miljakovac,[1] and municipalities of Čukarica, Savski venac and Voždovac.
History[]
The neighborhood's original name was the Railway colony (Serbian: Železnička kolonija). At the beginning of the 1920s, the Ministry of Railroad started building a neighborhood for their workers.[2] Even today, the neighborhood is filled with old trains and their parts, so its primary purpose still remains in a way.[3]
Geography[]
It is located in the southern part of the municipality, at its border with the municipality Savski venac. Around the neighborhood, there are 4 forests: Košutnjak, White Palace forest, Banjica forest, and Miljakovac forest.[4] River Topčiderka flows through the whole neighborhood. It is 8 kilometers from the center of Belgrade (~5 miles). Close to this neighborhood is the park Topčider and a forest with a similar name – Košutnjak.[5] And in its very close vicinity is also the luxurious neighborhood Dedinje, which connects the neighborhood to Slavija, a part of Belgrade's center with the most traffic.[6]
