Plješivica or Plješevica (pronounced [pʎɛ̌ʃɛʋitsa]), also called Lička Plješevica (i.e., "Plješevica of Lika"), is a mountain located in Croatia and on the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina, part of the Dinaric Alps.
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 Donji Lapac.
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".
