AIRBASE
The airbase is situated in the village Željava on the border between Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina inside Plješevica Mountain. It´s code-named is "Object 505".
It was the largest underground airport and military airbase in the former Yugoslavia, and one of the largest in Europe. Construction began in 1948 and was completed in 1968. Untill the Croatian Homeland War in 1991,the base was Top Secret, but unfortunately it was destroyed so today it stands as a reminder to a now forgotten era of Croatian and East Europe and is slowly dacaying…
NATIONAL PARK PLITVICE LAKES
It is the oldest and the most visited National park in Croatia. They have been declared as a national park on April 8 1949, and UNESCO declared Plitvice Lakes as a world heritage in 1979 among the first in the world.
