Stepin Lug ({{lang-sr|Степин Луг}}) or Gaj ({{lang-sr|Гај}}) is a park-forest and, for the most part, non-residential suburban settlement of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia.

The southern border is marked by the road of Kružni put and eastern by the Belgrade-Niš highway.

Characteristics

Important historical features are the vicinity of the Torlak hill and its importance in the battles for Belgrade in the World War I and the memorial-house of vojvoda Stepa Stepanović, one of the main army-leaders of the Serbian army. On 23 May 1972 the wooded complex Torlak-Baba Velka('s forest) was declared a park under the name "Titov Gaj", celebrating Yugoslav Communist president Josip Broz Tito's 80th birthday.[2][3]

Stepin Lug has a {{convert|5|km|miles|abbr=on}} hiking and jogging path. While it was called Titov Gaj, a mountain hut was built especially for him. He never visited the hut and it burned in the fire in the early 2010s.[2] Also in the early 2010's, Stepin Lug was mentioned as a possible location of the Belgrade Zoo, if the old one is to be moved out of the Kalemegdan.[3]
