Plješivica or Plješevica (pronounced [pʎɛ̌ʃɛʋitsa]), also called Lička Plješevica (i.e., "Plješevica of Lika"), is a mountain on the border between Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Geography

Plješevica is part of the Dinaric Alps, and it stretches in the northwest–southeast direction, extending from Bihać at its northwesternmost point and the mountain pass that separates it from Mala Kapela, along the Krbava field on Croatian side to the southwest and the Una River valley around Ripač on the Bosnian side to the northeast, continuing upstream along the Una by making its canyon southwestern slopes and ending near Gračac where it connect with Velebit.

Inside the Plješevica mountain, there used to be Željava Air Base, the largest underground airbase in SFR Yugoslavia. On the top of Gola Plješevica there was military complex with intercept and surveillance radar "Celopek".

The highest peaks:

  • Ozeblin at 1,657 meters, in the central part of the mount
  • Gola Plješevica at 1,646 meters, located in the northern part
  • Plješevički Kabao at 1,618 meters, in the north-central region

There are additional peaks that extend from Plješevica, notably Kremen at 1591 meters in the south and Mrsin at 1,269 meters in the north.
