Do you mean now in October? 2020?Not as crowded as Camino Frances, but not as empty as Via de la Plata. Sleeping alone in a albergue is a bit scary and boring..
Ps: I wanna walk in October
I would think of Camino Primitivo would be your best bet, along the ridges of the mountains. Not forest but lots of trees. Stages are not long, should be quite but enough people.
I'm sorry, I forgot that you said no high mountains.Look amazing! But unfortunately my legs are not made for this kind of mountains...
An interesting recommendation. I haven't walked the Primitivo myself, but everything I've read about it suggests it is one of the more challenging routes in terms of climbs and descents. The OPS seemed to be looking to avoid those due to knee problems. But if the climbs and descents can be easily avoided because the Camino just walks along the ridges that's okay then.You are in Spain, quite devoid of forest.

If you really love forests than maybe asking too much but Germany would be a better place. I walked the Mosel Valley Camino there last October and what struck me the biggest difference in the Camino is the green there...
Gentle it's not.Is the Olvidado gentle enough?
According to the spec in the OP hills are Ok, just not high mountains.Parts of the Invierno are out too, if you don't want any hills.
- A lot of nature, forest, lakes, rivers, hills, but not high mountains (knee problems), rather flat or little mountains. Forest is important.
- Not to close to cities and roads, don't wanna walk on streets nor spending time in cities (as I live in a big city, I really need to connect with the nature).
- The distances between the albergues not too high. My max. per day is 20 km. But actually 10 or 15 km would be perfect.
