Celje
Slovenia
Celje’s City Forest, with its 14 kilometres of well-maintained hiking trails, is the largest public green space in Celje (SI). The forest offers not only beautiful paths but also viewpoints, children's playgrounds, educational trails, demonstration points, outdoor fitness areas, and, the greatest attraction of the urban forest, the largest treehouse in Slovenia. This is a wonderful example of a planned, sustainable approach to urban forest development that now provides the "green lungs of Celje", significantly improving quality of life for local residents. However, it was not always this way. At the end of the 1980s, Celje was still groaning under the weight of industrial pollution and the forest had been forgotten by most people.
