Zeljava - underground army base and airport
There is question about owning Zeljava, between RH and BIH, there isn't any sign that base Zeljava interests NATO or that it will be open for civil air traffic. This site is result of my visit to mystic Zeljava in March 2007
Zeljava placed on the border with BIH, you can come from main road. Air base and airport are build for cold war needs. At leaving 1992 JNA Army blew Zeljeva with dynamite. Today base is abandon

On this site I have decided to describe my visit to Military Air base and airport
Zeljava (remain from EX JNA Army) in mountain Pljesivica, . At March 2007. for
the first time I heard for Zeljava when I was reading magazine Globus. I was
really suprised like all the others, when I read basic information about the
Military Air base Zeljava. Zeljava is build like one of the biggest secrets
of EX state. Building of this military airport in mountain cost from 3 to 8,5
billion $.
We planed our visit to Zeljava for 2 days, we managed to provide all necessary
equipment (battery lamp (2 for each), warm clothes, strongly footwear, maps
of all complex (with all of four tunnels exits. You can find many information
about Zeljava on the Internet, but unfortunately there is a lot of information
which are not truth or simply incorrect.
Before trip to Zeljava some people told us not to go or to go only with professional
guider, to keep from radioactive mud and bears. :)
