Leposaviq Forest

The forests of Leposaviq are part of the broader Kopaonik ecological corridor, which stretches across the Kosovo–Serbia border. Historically used for timber, grazing, and seasonal foraging, the area has remained largely undeveloped due to its remote location and political sensitivities.

The forest features a mix of oak, beech, and pine species, with undergrowth that supports wild mushrooms, berries, and medicinal herbs. Wildlife includes foxes, wild boar, deer, and a variety of birds, making it a quiet haven for nature enthusiasts and amateur trackers.

While not formally designated as a national park, the forest is considered ecologically significant and has been the subject of conservation interest. Local residents use the area for woodcutting, foraging, and seasonal rituals, and informal trails connect villages and highland pastures.

Due to its proximity to the border and limited infrastructure, visitors are advised to explore with local guidance and respect environmental and cultural sensitivities. The forest offers a rare glimpse into Kosovo’s northern biodiversity and remains a promising site for future eco-tourism development.
