Željava Air Base

Top

You have to travel a bit to find a plane. It is impressive despite the damage.

Impressive complex. It is a shame that the interior has almost been completely destroyed

It is already the second time that I have come to this abandoned military base. The plane deserves all the attention. It's nice to be able to go in and see a historical piece like that up close. In addition to the plane, it is possible to access 3 of the 4 tunnels excavated in the mountain. Tips: -the tunnels are all the same, it is not worth exploring them because the risk of getting lost due to lack of light is considerable - try not to go too far from the entrance to the base as the border with Bosnia is just a few kilometers away, where it is forbidden to enter without passing through the control customs. -someone broke the ladders to get on the plane, I did it anyway but I had to climb. -as specified everywhere, avoid entering the forest as it has never been cleared of mines - from maps you can see the presence of many abandoned buildings. I have visited a couple of them but they are all completely bare and unsafe. It does not deserve to waste time If you are in the area this place is the top!

It used to be better
