Lička Plješivica (i.e., "Plješivica of Lika"), also called Plješevica (pronounced [pʎɛ̌ʃɛʋitsa]), 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".
The highest peaks:
- Ozeblin at 1,657 meters, in the central part of the mount, located between Udbina and Donji Lapac
- Gola Plješevica at 1,646 meters, located in the northern part, between Bihać and Korenica
- Tabla at 1,613 meters and Trovrh at 1,602 meters, in the north-central region, between Bjelopolje and Melinovac
To the south of Plješevica are Crni vrh (1604 m) and Rudi Lisac (1608 m) and Kremen at 1591 meters. To the west is Mrsinj at 1,268 meters.
